Last week, 21st and 22nd of November 2002, the IFRF held its 146th Joint Committee (JC) Meeting. The meeting was hosted by French Flame Research Committee at the Gaz de France research facilities in St. Dennis, north of Paris.

The Members of the Joint Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank Gaz de France and the French Flame Research Committee for their kind hospitality and excellent arrangements.

The next meeting of the Joint Committee will take place at the New IFRF Communication Centre at IJmuiden on 20th and 21st of March 2003.

Readers should note that these dates come immediately after those of TOTeM23 and 24, which will be held at the same venue.

TOTeM24 will be devoted to presentation relating to the HEC-EEC programme and will include a visit to the IFRF Research Station to look at the new facility.  Therefore, this will be a chance for IFRF Individual Members not only to gain detailed information about the Main Research Programme of 2003, but they will also have the chance to meet their Directors.
