Meet the European Alliance Leads
The European Bipolar Alliance was conceived by Professor Annemiek Dols in her capacity as ISBD European Regional Board Director to bring together European ISBD members and chapter representatives to enhance cooperation and collaboration with each other and as a means to provide European perspectives and input to the larger ISBD community. The Alliance is current led by Professor Dols and Professor Kamilla Miskowiak.
