The 20th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion was focusing on health, equity and sustainable development. The coming months and years will tell if we have reached the main goal of this meeting which was to build bridges between health promotion and sustainable development.
There is a good chance that IUHPE will achieve this as the conference has been a resounding success with more than 2,200 participants attending from 123 countries and all continents. For all those involved, it has been an impressive gathering, with participants having the choice between a variety of events, ranging from poster sessions and oral presentations to plenary sessions, all in all more than 2,000 events – a flood of information and many opportunities for a lively debate.
The inspiring insights will now provide IUHPE with a strong impetus to follow this up in our day-to-day professional practice and life.
Congratulations first! …
Dr. Maxime Monod successfully defended his PhD Thesis from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL, Lausanne) in front of the jury on the 30th of June 2010 and at his public defense on July 30th, that is last friday. His thesis director was Prof. Rachid Guerraoui at EPFL. 
His thesis is entitled “Live [video] Streaming with Gossip” where the gossip paradigm is “a type of data dissemination that relies on random communication between participants in a Peer-to-peer (P2P) system”.
… and a very warm welcome!
Starting today, we are delighted to welcome Maxime. He will work as “Software Architect” closely with Vincent Bozzo as part of the Klewel Research and Development team. Maxime will be responsible, in a first phase, of the upcoming Klewel portal’s back-end server architecture. During his PhD, he was in the Distributed Programming Laboratory – LPD, School of Computer & Communication Sciences – I&C – of EPFL. Maxime is the laureate of the Best Paper Award at the 13th International Conference On Principles Of Distributed Systems (OPODIS’09). He wrote more than 10 journal articles and conference papers in the best conferences of this field. During his M.Sc. from EPFL, he did a six-month project at the McGill University, Canada. Once again, welcome!
