S.V.Goryachkin is the active member of the IUSS, participant of every WCSS since 1998, has been working as a vice-chair of the Commission 1.2., together with T.Scholten as a chair of the commission since 2018. We decided to keep the policy of our commission and save (or even widen) our active group of specialists, approve and confirm the Fridland’s award and plan the activity for the next period. As Thomas Scholten is close to the end of his second period being the Chair of C1.2 the Commission decided to nominate Sergey Goryachkin for the Chair. It would guarantee the continuity of the commission activity.
