Circle of Friends
CISS’s friends are those people who followed and supported its development from the start, who contributed to CISS and critically reflected on its future potentials. Many of them have already been part of CISS events by giving a lecture, participating in a roundtable or chairing a workshop. They are invaluable to our work and therefore honorary members of CISS
