Rathenau is a long term member of the EPTA network and has held the EPTA Presidency the last time in 2008. Also in 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic will have a considerable impact on all TA institutions including EPTA. Most likely also this year, the directors' meeting will be held in a virtual format. All members hope, however, to be able to meet again in person for the 2021 EPTA conference and Council meeting in The Hague.
