Dear alumni and ex-officials! We need your help. For unknown IT reasons, the lists of boards before 2019 have disappeared from the website page "previous officials". Only presidents and Carnival editors are mentioned. We want to remedy this and give credit to all elected officials who contributed to ISHA in the past.
We tried to reconstruct the previous boards, going through the minutes of GA's and the drive. We are stuck now in 2005. Have you been an official in 2005 or earlier, and can you help us restore the names on the website? Have you spotted a mistake somewhere in the list? Suggestions on where else to look for the information?
Please let us know or send an email to [email protected].
Thank you for being our collective memory!

30th Anniversary Reunion

04/01/2018

Last month, ISHA officials and Alumni headed to the university of Leuven library to digitise the ISHA archives.

Work on sorting all the documents and checking the quality of the pictures is still going on and in all probability more trips to the archive will need to be undertaken.

In the meantime we lhope you enjoy this report of the Second Annual Conference in Pécs, 1991, and wish you all the best for 2018

Yesterday, we drew our final conclusions from the very first ISHA Alumni seminar. Participants hindered by the storm will get reimbursed and also the workshop leaders are up to a little treat. We discussed the future of our working and based on the feedback of alumni we will offer a new concept in our next event. If you would like to lend a hand, you are always welcome to join the committee.
In the coming weeks more portraits of Alumni will be published. ISHA will also return to its 1990’s HQ, Leuven, to digitise its archives and to start working on the ISHA Alumni 1990’s working.

We thank all the alumni for coming to Berlin and for your insightful comments on how to ISHA Alumni. Special thanks to ISHA Berlin for all their efforts in hosting the seminar and to ISHA International for its support.
Viva ISHA!
