IOBC-WPRS

The IOBC-WPRS newsletter, PROFILE, was first released in January 1984. For 26 years PROFILE provided information about the activities of Working and Study Groups, meetings, news from the Council, information from IOBC-Global, etc.

Over that time PROFILE was served by three excellent editors: Ernst Boller (1984-1987), followed by Albert Minks (1988-1996), and finally by Horst Bathon (1997-2009). All three editors contributed tremendously to compiling and spreading news and information about wprs through the printed version of PROFILE, as this was the only channel before the internet website. PROFILE first appeared as a PDF on the IOBC-WPRS website in 2003, and past issues can be found under Publications. For the past few years the IOBC-WPRS website, with its continual updates, has served as the forum for dissemination of most information formerly covered by PROFILE; therefore, the newsletter will no longer be produced. This decision was taken at the General Assembly in Ocotber 2009.
The Council appreciates all efforts of everyone that provided information to PROFILE over the years and expresses its deep gratitude to the three editors for years of dedication and service.
