<p class="MsoNormal">As you might know, the discussions about collaboration with the fossil fuel industry are getting more sensitive by the day. Earlier, I asked you to let me know about collaborations with this sector. Next to this, the university is organizing
a dialogue about this particular topic. Please look at the message below from Davide Iannuzzi (chief impact officer); I realize that many of you have received this message earlier. Please inform colleagues that can contribute to this discussion. During the
next AHO meeting, we will discuss the faculty’s position. Please let me know if you have any input for me to consider! In addition, please let me know if internal discussions are leading to tensions; Davide and FB will try to help if needed (e.g., by explaining
the importance of the dialogue).<o:p></o:p></p>
