AIC ANNUAL REVIEW (AIC AR)

AIC Annual Review 2025, Vol. 39

2026-06-29T11:34:07+02:00

As the newly appointed Annual Review Editor of the International Colour Association (AIC), I am delighted to present the latest edition of the AIC Annual Review, Volume 39 (2025). Please note that the file size is 101 MB, so downloading may take a few seconds. Following a hacking incident earlier this year, I have rebuilt the publishing web pages for the AIC Annual Review (AIC AR). This gave me the opportunity to add content summaries to the first 15 volumes that didn’t have one.
Ingrid Calvo Ivanovic and I enjoyed a highly productive collaboration. Ingrid created the striking colour design and visual layout, while I collected and carefully edited the submissions, structured the volume, and translated texts from Spanish for the International Colour Day section. It was hard work, but we are pleased with the outcome. I recognize the effort involved and would like to thank Ingrid and all the authors most sincerely for their contributions. Without their valuable input and engagement, the annual review would not be so insightful, meaningful and visually appealing. Having now gained experience, I realize how much work goes into writing a report, and how long it takes to produce an edition.
The importance of contributing to the Annual Review is addressed in the Editor's Note. The 2025 President's Report provides insights into the changes undergone by the AIC. This edition features presentations of the three recipients of the AIC Awards (the Judd Award, the CADE Award, and the recently introduced Sphere Award), as well as information about AIC2025, AIC2026, and AIC2027. Twenty-two regular members and five study groups share informative and fascinating details about their research and activities. Special sections cover International Colour Day events and In Memoriam tributes.
I hope you enjoy reading the Annual Review and find it helpful for gaining insight into colour research and the activities of the International Colour Association. Thank you to all the dedicated individuals, member societies, and study group chairs who play a key role in ensuring the international association's continued success. Stay tuned!

AIC Annual Report 2017 | Annual Review, Vol. 30

2026-06-27T16:47:37+02:00

2016 was a year when there seemed to be more happening in the world of colour than ever before: more conferences, more journals, more books, more social media groups, more postgraduate courses, more international collaborations, and more members in AIC. We were delighted to welcome Croatia as a new member, bringing the number of AIC Regular Members to 27, and in this issue there is a report from every single one of them, as well as our two Associate Members and four Study Groups. These reports provide many insights into the way that the different groups function and reach out to serve their members.
The highlight of the year was of course the AIC Interim Meeting in Chile, organised most capably by ACC (see report, page 9). The theme of ‘Color in Urban Life’ was very relevant to the cityscape of Santiago and also to the interests of many of the delegates. It was entrancing on the excursion to Valparaiso to visit the house of Pablo Neruda, high on a hill overlooking the bay, where colour architecture, the decorative arts and urban life all seemed to merge into one. Other notable events reported by members in the pages of this Annual Report are: 30th anniversary of the Colour Society of Australia (page 11); large‐scale lectures of scientific popularisation and professional colour training in China (page 16); a White Tea Party, looking like a Whistler painting coming to life, in Zagreb (page 17); a visit to the Ostwald Museum in Saxony (page 20); a conference in Valentino Castle, Turin (page 23); dinner illuminated by fireflies in a Japanese temple (page 24); analysis of Rembrandt’s pigments in the Netherlands (page 27); an honorary doctorate awarded to a distinguished practitioner in Slovenia (page 30); and the opening of the Canon Exploratorium in Bangkok (page 35). Activities for International Colour Day (ICD) in 2016 were reported by about half of all member countries, and are described in a special two‐page report compiled by Prof Maria João Durão (pages 39–40). The Study Group reports show the customary variety and imagination (pages 41–44). Also included are an article on the Museum of Colours, which after four years of planning has become a physical reality in Berlin (page 45), and a preview of the Munsell centenary conference, to be held in Boston in 2018 (page 48).
A memorable activity for me in 2016 was organisation of the conference ‘Progress in Colour Studies’ (PICS), hosted by University College London (UCL) with support from the Colour Group (GB). It really brought home to me the diversity of disciplines associated with colour and language, and the strength of scholarship and research to be found in so many places. It was a particular pleasure to welcome Prof Roy Berns of RIT, my predecessor as Editor of this publication, as a keynote speaker.

AIC Annual Report 2016 | Annual Review, Vol. 29

2026-06-27T16:40:06+02:00

2015 was a year of significant anniversaries for several AIC member countries: Bulgaria 35 years, Great Britain 75 years, Spain 50 years and Sweden 50 years. Their enduring appeal and range of activities show that they have successfully changed with the times and remained relevant to the interests of both artistic and industrial practice. 2015 was also decreed by the UN as the International Year of Light, focusing on light science and its applications, to raise global awareness of how light‐based technologies can provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Because light is inseparably associated with colour, the year also raised the international profile of colour science and its many applications, particularly through the International Colour Day (ICD). Diverse activities celebrating ICD on 21 March are reported here for Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Finland, Great Britain, Korea, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and Taiwan. A special report on ICD has been compiled by Prof Maria João Durão (pages 41‐42).
The highlight of the year was the AIC mid‐term conference in Tokyo (page 12), hosted with outstanding charm and efficiency by the Colour Society of Japan. Everything was ideal: the presentations, the social programme and the venue were stimulating and enjoyable, all in the best traditions of AIC. Especially memorable was the outing to the sumo wrestling.
Thank you very much to all the AIC member societies and study groups who have contributed the reports in these pages. Especially worthy of note are the illumination of a whole building façade in Brazil (page 16), coloured cocktails in Canada (page 18), a national colour training scheme for school teachers in Chile (page 19), a chromatic piano concert at Notre Dame de Paris (page 22), the handover of the presidency in Hungary from one Prof Nemcsics to another (page 25), a major research project on ‘Colour and Quality in higher dimensions’ in Norway (page 29), exploration of ‘The unexpected’ in Sweden (page 33), experiments into colour constancy in Thailand (page 36), and an award for outstanding service to Rolf Kuehni in the USA (page 37). Two societies, China and Spain, have adopted new logos with strong colour graphic design. In the Study Group on the Language of Colour it was a special pleasure to welcome the new Co‐Chairs, my colleagues Dimitris Mylonas and Prof Galina Paramei (page 46).
The strength of colour design as a discipline within the AIC community continues unabated. Many of the activities, projects and teaching strategies reported by members show colour in the context of design, finding colourful solutions that fit within the envelope of constraints imposed by the client. Through the theory and practice of colour design, and by bringing together practising colour designers, the AIC is able to make a significant contribution to consumer products, living spaces and human well‐being around the world.

The climax of the AIC year in 2014 was the interim meeting in Oaxaca, Mexico, hosted by Amexinc (see page 9). It was colourful, chaotic and memorable for the range of activities, the venue and the great efforts of the organisers. It is one of the admirable features of the AIC that it enables participants to meet people from many different backgrounds and disciplines, and to travel widely to experience different cultures.
Thank you to all member societies who have contributed reports on their activities. It is a special pleasure to welcome Norway as a new member, under the able leadership of Prof Jon Hardeberg. Highlights of this Annual Report include: a huge Festival of Colours in Canada (page 15); analysis of façade colours in Helsinki (page 18); celebration in Germany of the 40th anniversary of DfwG jointly with a major DfZ conference ‘Colour as Experiment’ (page 20); award of an official coat of arms to the Colour Group of Great Britain (page 21); histogram analysis of flag colours in Slovenia (page 29); celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Swedish Colour Foundation (page 31); and inspirational methods in colour education (page 40). There is also a special report on activities for International Colour Day.
Another special event for me in September was to be invited to present the opening keynote talk at the 10th Annual Conference of the Italian Gruppo del Colore in Genoa (page 23). With the large number of delegates representing many countries, and the high quality of material presented, this conference can make a good claim to be the European Colour Conference. It reflects great credit on Prof Maurizio Rossi and Prof Alessandro Rizzi, who over a decade have steadily built up both their organisation and their annual conference to its present high level of excellence.
Looking through the reports from the member societies, it is apparent that one of the major themes is environmental colour design. This is evidenced not only by the strength of the Study Group SG‐ECD (page 41) but also by the number of projects being undertaken in many countries. It seems that a new type of professional is emerging, the colour practitioner, who can combine design skills with knowledge of colour psychology and colour science to find innovative ways to apply colour in architectural and urban environments. This is a lucrative commercial field (page 36), and one that will continue to be a strong focus of activity for AIC in years to come.

AIC Annual Report 2014 | Annual Review, Vol. 27

2026-06-27T16:17:51+02:00

This Annual Report marks the start of a new AIC Executive Committee, and I am pleased to be invited by the committee to stay on as the Editor. So it seems appropriate to have a new graphic on the front cover. It’s a reworking of an old idea showing the duality between the additive (RGB) and subtractive (CMY) colour systems. This publication relies on them both, in its online and printed formats.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this report, with news of happenings during 2013 in AIC member countries around the world and in the AIC Study Groups. Items worthy of note in this edition are the promotion of the ‘Dia da Cor’ on the façade of a sky‐scraper in São Paulo (page 17), the first report from the new Colour Research Society of Canada (page 19), an encounter with Goethe in Ilmenau (page 24), intensive preparation for a new colour Masters programme in Milan (page 27), the advent of The Color Run in Mexico (page 30), concern about ‘colour babbling’ spoiling the landscape of Slovenia (page 33), the colourful Squeasy bottles reducing plastic waste in Switzerland (page 36), the activities of our new AIC Associate Member, the Color Marketing Group (page 40), a conundrum of colour illusions (page 43), and news about forthcoming AIC meetings (pages 47–50).
The big event in 2013 was of course the 12th Congress, held in Newcastle in the north‐east of England. With over 600 delegates from 48 countries and 400 papers presented, it amply demonstrated the strength of the AIC as an organisation and the broad range of disciplines and interests of its members (see report on pages 11–12). There is no doubt that the subject of colour can bring together people from all over the world, and that it resonates with human experience at a deep level. Moreover, we are seeing the rise of the colour practitioner as a professional, especially in the field of environmental colour design. This is an important development, because it indicates that colour practice is not subservient to some other discipline but can be regarded as a discipline in its own right.
A significant area of application of colour, in which many members of AIC are involved, is cultural heritage. France, Italy, Sweden, Bulgaria, Hungary and Thailand are all reporting activity in this area. And it is a major focus of the research work of Roy Berns, for which he received the Judd Award (page 13). As the technology of digital imaging, displays, colour management and 3D digitisation has developed, it has become possible to make digital representations of objects in collections in museums and galleries. This in turn has enabled the image reproduction of those objects in various media, including mobile devices. Making digital surrogates that look realistic under diverse viewing conditions is a great challenge for models of appearance, including both colour and gloss. Using digital representations of cultural heritage objects effectively for conservation and restoration is now a mainstream pursuit of the digital humanities and is a worthy subject for AIC.

AIC Annual Report 2013 | Annual Review, Vol. 26

2026-06-27T16:07:30+02:00

Thank you very much to the contributors from all the member societies of AIC, who have again provided such excellent material describing the rich and chromatic activities going on around the world during 2012. The subject of colour lends itself to colourful presentation, and where better than in this report.
Some highlights of the year have been: Government approval in Brazil for a national Colour Day (page 13); publication of a national strategy in China for development of colour research studies (page 16); the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Deutsches Farbenzentrum (DFZ) in Germany (page 18); an Interdisciplinary Conference on Colour and Pattern Harmony in Hungary (page 20); the 20th anniversary celebrations of pro/colore in Switzerland (page 30); and the formation of the Asia Color Association (page 32).
Included also in this issue is a profile of the European CIMET consortium (page 36), which although not an AIC activity involves many AIC members and has done an outstanding job over the past five years in training over 100 Masters students in colour science and technology.
One of the notable aspects of 2012 was the number of events taking place around the world to celebrate International Colour Day (ICD). Although the seeds were first sown in 2008 by Maria João Durão, it has taken until now to bear fruit. Activities related to ICD are reported in these pages by members in Brazil, Chile, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden.
The Colour Group (GB) and APCOR (Portugal) organised a joint meeting in Lisbon at the splendid Gulbenkian Museum (see pages 19 and 26). The formal presentations were given during the morning of each day, alternating Portuguese and British speakers. Simultaneous translation was provided. On the first afternoon there was a tour of a social housing estate in Lisbon, led by the architect João Pernão who has been conducting a major project to develop a harmonious colour scheme for the buildings. It is to be hoped that we will see more such bilateral collaborations between AIC member countries in the future.
The great event of 2012 was the AIC interim meeting in Taipei, hosted by the Colour Association of Taiwan (see report on page 9). Prof Tien-Rein Lee was brilliant as a host and every aspect of the event was memorable, not only the conference sessions but also the venue, accommodation, receptions, social activities and excursions out into the countryside. He has set a very high standard for us in the organising of the forthcoming AIC Congress in the UK in July 2013 (see page 44).

AIC Annual Report 2012 | Annual Review, Vol. 25

2026-06-27T14:55:03+02:00

This year we have decided to change the name of this publication from AIC Newsletter to AIC Annual Report. It is appropriate because in these pages is an account of the whole year’s activity during 2011 of all the Member Societies and Study Groups of the AIC. Thank you very much to all the contributors, who have provided so much interesting content about colourful activities world-wide.
Some of the highlights from member societies in this issue include research into cave paintings in Argentina (page 11), a project to introduce colour landscaping into a social housing estate in Chile (page 15), a conference celebrating ’80 years of colorimetry’ in Germany (page 18), the Korea Color Awards for excellence in design (page 22), the award of a national patent for a Portuguese device for measuring perceived colour in architectural applications (page 25), a very successful conference in Spain on the appearance of automotive paint (page 27), a new commercial software package in Thailand enabling a scanner to be used as a colorimeter (page 31), and a tangible display in the USA for visualising changes in surface lighting and material appearance (page 32). We also salute the tremendous growth and vibrancy of the Gruppo del Colore, our new Associate Member in Italy (page 34).
The highlight of the AIC year was the meeting in Zurich (page 9), hosted by the Swiss member society pro/colore. The rather sombre auditorium was magically transformed through projections of coloured light onto the long sidewalls, with stunning graphic designs. The patterns changed continually in colour and form, but in such a subtle and ingenious way that they never interfered visually with the presentations on the big screen at the front. It was a marvellous example of environmental colour design and exemplified the meeting theme ‘Interaction of Colour & Light in the Arts and Sciences’. It was somehow appropriate that in the gallery below there was an exhibition of the photographs of Henri Cartier Bresson, the master of capturing the decisive moment.
It was a particular pleasure at AIC 2011 to witness the award of the prestigious Judd Medal to Dr Lucia Ronchi (page 10), whose encyclopædic knowledge of vision science is legendary. Many in the AIC community, including myself, have benefited from her advice and guidance.
In September I was privileged to attend the 10th Anniversary celebrations of ColorLab at Gjøvik University College, Norway. This was an opportunity to honour the achievements of Prof Jon Hardeberg, who founded the lab on his return to Norway in 2001, and has since led a series of innovative colour research projects and inspired a host of students and post doctoral researchers. In particular he has been a key member of the CREATE network and the European CIMET Master’s Course ‘Colour in Informatics and Media Technology’.
It was an honour in November to attend the ISCC Special Topics meeting in San Jose (page 32), held jointly with the Society for Imaging Science & Technology (IS&T) and the Society for Information Display (SID) after the Color Imaging Conference. This marked the 15th anniversary of the publication of the sRGB colour space, and provided the opportunity to reflect on the success and almost universal adoption of sRGB. Currently used colour spaces were discussed from the perspective of scientific and technological advances of the past 15 years, such as HDR imaging and multi-primary displays. It is instructive to observe how a standard based on old television CRT displays has become so embedded in the modern digital world.

AIC Annual Newsletter 2011 | Annual Review, Vol. 24

2026-06-27T13:02:25+02:00

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this, the second edition of the AIC Newsletter under my term as Editor. It is really pleasing to see the diversity and strength of activity related to colour in every AIC member country. A theme running through many of the articles this year is the blend of science and design, particularly in relation to colour in architecture and lighting. The recent advent of LED sources seems to be generating a strong upsurge of interest in coloured illumination for both outdoor and indoor spaces.
The AIC 2010 interim meeting in Argentina was full of energy and character, in the charming seaside resort of Mar del Plata. It was a tribute to the boundless energy of José Luis Caivano, former President of AIC, and Omar Burgos, Chairman of the Argentine Colour Group, and the great work of the local organising committee that the event was such a success. Full reports can be found on pages 10–11. For me it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to present a short course ‘An Introduction to Colour Measurement’ to an expert audience on the day before the conference opened.
A distinguished invited speaker was overheard saying to a lady during lunch on the AIC Saturday excursion: “Madam, may I squeeze it for you ... or would you prefer to squeeze it for yourself?” It transpired that he was talking about the lemon garnish on the main course, but it demonstrates the rich potential of the subject of ‘Colour and Food’!
A feature article is included on the CREATE network, a European project which through a series of colourful events over the past four years has succeeded in training over 400 researchers with the assistance of some 100 experts – an outstanding achievement! Although this was not specifically an AIC activity, many AIC members were involved.
It is impressive in reading the articles in this issue to see how many conferences related to colour were held in 2010, many of them with an international character. This amply demonstrates the social aspects of the subject, because colour is both a personal perception and a shared experience. Notable events were ‘Colour and Child’ in Bulgaria, ‘Colour in Graphics, Imaging and Vision’ in Finland, ‘Farbe in der Bildung’ in Germany, ‘Gumi International Color & Urban Design Forum’ in Korea, ‘9^th National Congress’ in Spain, ‘11^th International Conference on Color Design, Applications and Science’ in Taiwan, and ‘Color Standards’ in the USA.
The five AIC Study Groups have been active during the year, and their reports indicate strong focussed activity in their various fields. Of particular interest is the experimental apparatus being developed by Dr Okajima for study of colour perception of the elderly. Through such research and communication the AIC is making valuable contributions to the global understanding of colour.

AIC Annual Newsletter 2010 | Annual Review, Vol. 23

2026-06-27T12:53:35+02:00

It is a privilege and pleasure to have taken over the editing of this AIC Annual Newsletter from Prof Roy Berns. Roy did a great job during his four-year term as Editor by introducing a more colourful and visual style, with many pictures and alighter touch to the articles. I have continued this trend, by ensuring that there is at least one colourful picture on every page. I have also tried to minimise the boring lists of committee and administrative details in favour of a more journalistic style, with news snippets and stories about what member organisations have been doing and what is new and interesting in the world of colour.
Thank you to the twenty-five member societies of the AIC who contributed such interesting content to this Newsletter. I exercised my editorial prerogative to prune and paraphrase, crafting the raw material of every article into the standardone-page format. I also introduced the member society logos, thereby adding to the general effect of colourful activity.
One of the highlights during 2009 for me was attending the CREATE Research Workshop in Veszprém, Hungary, in May. The Colour Research for European Advanced Technology Employment (CREATE) Network was funded under the MarieCurie programme. This memorable event was organised at the University of Pannonia by Prof János Schanda for the benefit of doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers in fields related to colour. I gave a talk on ‘Colour Communication’ with a number of practical demonstrations, including the spectrum and additive mixing of lights.
The AIC Congress in Sydney (my home town) in September was wonderful, and demonstrated the range and strength of colour research and application throughout the world. It bodes well for the future of the AIC.

AIC Annual Newsletter 2009 | Annual Review, Vol. 22

2026-06-27T12:39:44+02:00

With this Newsletter, we are returning to a one-year cycle. My AIC color highlights occurred in Stockholm at the midterm meeting. Before the meeting, I spent the day at the Vasa Museum viewing the World’s only surviving 17th century ship. The ship was affixed with incredible carvings, originally polychrome. There was a display of the pigments they identified and a reproduction of how these carvings might have appeared before the paint was removed by the ravages of time.
My second colorful event was taking a course about the NCS system. It was a great opportunity to learn about this important color-order system in the location where it was developed.
– Roy S. Berns, Editor

AIC Annual Newsletter 2008 | Annual Review, Vol. 21

2026-06-27T11:35:50+02:00

During AIC2006, I made a motion to have the Newsletter cover a calendar year period. The motion was carried and this Newsletter covers the end of 2006 and all of 2007. In the last Newsletter, No. 20, I made a request for more images from the Member Countries and our Study Groups. I showed some interesting illusions in that newsletter kindly provided by Osvaldo da Pos. To keep the ball rolling, I am enclosing some pictures taken at AIC2006 in Johannesburg and AIC2007 in Hangzhou by either José Luis Caivano or myself.
– Roy S. Berns, Editor

AIC Annual Newsletter 2006 | Annual Review, Vol. 20

2026-06-26T01:26:54+02:00

This is my first Newsletter and I have tried to maintain its historical style, not easy for an American using A4 paper for the first time. This Newsletter would not have been possible without the help and guidance of Paul Green-Armytage, the editor during 1990–1993 and 2002–2005, and our current AIC President, José Luis Caivano.
In this Newsletter, most of the news originates from our Member Organizations and Study Groups. In the future, I will be able to report on the Interim Meeting, 'Colour in Culture and Colour in Fashion', to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, October 24–27, 2006.
As a color and imaging scientist, I often think about images and how easily they convey complex and interesting information. I hope to increase the number of images in the next Newsletter. At any time, please send interesting images, illusions, and news items to me.
– Roy S. Berns, Editor

AIC Annual Newsletter 2005 | Annual Review, Vol. 19

2026-06-26T01:17:01+02:00

Circumstances that delayed publication of last year’s Newsletter have overflowed into 2005. As a result, this edition contains reports of activities within member organizations during 2004 but there are also reports that refer to events of 2005. This applies especially to President Paula Alessi’s report in which she quotes from the closing speech she gave at the AIC Congress in Granada earlier this year. Paula’s speech conveys very well how rewarding the Congress was for those who attended.
I have included a page of photographs which I hope will complement Paula’s words.
This Newsletter celebrates the presentation to John Hutchings of the AIC Deane B. Judd Award for 2005 when I had the honour of reading the citation.
The presentation took place during the Granada Congress and it was followed by the AIC Assembly. The minutes of the Assembly are included in the Newsletter. I have also taken the opportunity to introduce the members of the new Executive Committee who will take office in 2006. Reports from the study groups refer to activities in 2005 and I am particularly delighted to be able to include a report from our newest member, the Portuguese Colour Association.
Near the end of her report Paula gives the sad news that the colour community has lost two very prominent scientists, Fred W. Billmeyer, Jr. and Vera Golob. I am glad to be able to include tributes to them both.
– Paul Green-Armytage, Editor

AIC Annual Newsletter 2004 | Annual Review, Vol. 18

2026-06-26T01:09:40+02:00

Special Feature: The Newsletter contains a report on the very successful Midterm Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. On a personal note, it was a great pleasure and privilege for me to represent AIC President Paula Alessi during the meeting and, especially, to present the AIC Deane B Judd Award to Prof Mitsuo Ikeda on her behalf. My thanks to Aran Hansuebsai and Frank Rochow for sending the photographs which accompany the report.
Revised procedure for distribution of the Newsletter: As announced in President Paula Alessi’s Report, a new procedure has been agreed for the distribution of the AIC Newsletter. The representative of each member organization will receive one copy only but will also receive a CD with a printable version. This will save costs, but will also make it easier for each member organization to reprint the Newsletter for local distribution. Single copies will be sent, as usual, to Observers and others who normally receive a copy of the Newsletter.
Upcoming AIC meetings: The Newsletter contains details of the next AIC meeting, which will be held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in November this year, and details of our next Congress, which will be held in Granada, Spain, in May 2005.
– Paul Green-Armytage, Editor

AIC Annual Newsletter 2003 | Annual Review, Vol. 17

2026-06-26T01:02:11+02:00

Special Features: This issue of the AIC Newsletter contains some special features in addition to the usual reports. I would like to thank all those who have sent contributions, especially José Luis Caivano for preparing the summary history of the AIC and the team of Vera Golob, Slava Jeler and Zoran Stjepanovic for their excellent account of last year’s AIC meeting on ‘Color and Textiles’ in Maribor, Slovenia. The account of the Maribor meeting is included in the report from the Slovenian Colorists Association and this is complemented by a page of ‘Memories from Maribor’. The smile on President Paula Alessi’s face is a perfect reflection of the delight we felt at such an enriching experience where scientific, social and cultural stimulation were so well combined.
AIC Deane B. Judd Award: Another special feature of this issue is the announcement of the winner of the AIC Deane B. Judd Award for 2003. I would like to express my appreciation to those who prepared documentation in support of their nominations for the award and especially to the members of the Award Committee for their very careful consideration of the nominees. See inside for details!
– Paul Green-Armytage, Editor

AIC Annual Newsletter 2002 | Annual Review, Vol. 16

2026-06-26T00:53:01+02:00

First I would like to thank all those who sent contributions to this Newsletter. My knowledge of the AIC has been limited in the main to what I have learnt at our congresses and other meetings.
It was inspiring, and something of a revelation, to read about the extensive activities within the member organisations.
I would also like to thank Marnee Rinaldi, honours graduate in graphic design from Curtin University of Technology, who helped me with fine tuning of the design and preparation of the files for the printer.
Since the contributions were sent to me in electronic form it has been possible to establish a standard format for the Newsletter. I have not presumed to edit the text of any of the contributions beyond some very minor changes.
In a few instances I have also made some minor adjustments to the order, and I have added some headings. In some cases the internet did strange things to the accents on certain letters.
Comparison with hard copies enabled me to correct some of these but there are also some auxiliary symbols which I am not able to find in the program I use. I hope readers will accept my apologies for any errors that remain.
