On 11 January 2022, the annual board meeting voted in favour of the proposed adaptations of the AoA (Articles of Association) as communicated to all members by email on 4 December 2021.
The adaptations include various small grammatical changes, rephrasing of sentences as well as changes to the objectives of our organisation. One of the most important changes, includes the official addition of 2 annual awards i.e. The Louis de Pauw and Palaeontologica Belgica Award (cf. Art. 3 – objectives §.8). Another important change can be found in §.7 of Art.3 (Objectives) which instates the creation of workgroups (labs) within the Palaeontologica Belgica organisation.
The erection of future labs is described in the AoA as follows (translation in English):
As from today, we officially communicate the establishment of our first specialised workgroup called ‘Trilolab’. Within this lab we welcome 3 new collaborators: Allart Van Viersen, Ivo Kesselaer and Frederik Lerouge. We also wish to welcome dr. Frederik Lerouge as a permanent member of the executive board.
