The ACU’s departing Secretary General, Dr Joanna Newman, leaves the ACU after 6 years to take up the role of Provost at SOAS University of London, UK. At the IAU, we thank Joanna for 6 extraordinary strong and very constructive years of cooperation, in particular to advance the important roles universities play when it comes to addressing the UN 2030 agenda sustainable development goals. We look forward to continue to work with her in her new role and to develop new initiatives with Professor Colin Riordan her successor at ACU. The IAU Secretary General already had a very nice work lunch with him while in London.
