The IMISCOE biography is online!

At the occasion of the tenth anniversary of IMISCOE, in April 2014, Aafke Brus conducted a study in order to look into the history and development of IMISCOE. This she did by studying the minutes of the Board of Directors meetings, interviewing key persons involved in the development of IMISCOE, and a survey amongst directors of institutional members as well as individual members. Her work entitled: 'Excellence, Diversity and Growth: A historical biography of the IMISCOE Research Network' sheds light not only on the history of the network, but also its structure, its research and publications.
