00:00Thank you for joining us.
00:53Thank you for joining us.
01:19Thank you for joining us.
01:30SIGRE has given me many things professionally.
01:34First of all, I learned through SIGRE many experts from all over the world to whom I could contact whenever
01:43I needed any information.
01:45And by the way, they became many of them, became my friends.
01:56I think that this virtual centennial session is a great experiment.
02:04And a great opportunity for SIGRE to keep the interest of its members together.
02:11And make sure that SIGRE remains the top organization in this field in the world.
02:27I don't know, do we have a lot of time?
02:30Because I have so many contributions, I think it will take too long.
02:34But this was a joke, of course.
02:37There is not, you know, in SIGRE we are a team.
02:40And as a team we produce technical documents.
02:45And so it's not only one person to be picked out for a significant contribution.
02:50It's a SIGRE contribution.
02:51But if I may say something, I am happy and proud that we managed in SIGRE to start these green
03:00books which collect all valuable information of SIGRE in a specific field.
03:07Like overhead lines or sub-stations or cables and this initiative, about this initiative, I am very proud I could
03:16start it.
03:25I see the SIGRE in the future bright.
03:29Because the field of activity of SIGRE is a field with a lot of potential, but also a lot of
03:39challenges in the future.
03:41And so SIGRE with its worldwide membership, with its expertise, with its non-profit nature, will be the pole and
03:53the center of interest and the center of reference for many organizations.
03:59of governments, utilities, and all in all, SIGRE will have a very great and bright future.
