Planned time and place of the network meetings: 4 Nov 2021 at 12.30- 13.15 in U150, Odense.
• we were not able to have a meeting during the conference

Activities in NERA 2021 Odense, Denmark
• The conference staff did the organisation of the paper sessions; convenors were not involved.
• There were too many parallel sessions on Wednesday and only one session on Thu morning, which was not ideal.

Planned activities 2021-20222
• mailing list and NW21 pages have been rather passive and the convenors have been planning to initiate a bi-monthly newsletter
• As we were not able to meet during the conference, there is a plan to organise a thematic online meeting before the NERA2022 conference in Reykjavik and we would like to apply for NERA financial support to organize an online event
• we will actively try to recruit more members

New co-convener
• Taina Saarinen was stepping down. New co-convener of NW21 is Dr. Helena Hinke Dobrochinski Candido, University of Helsinki, Finland (helena.candido@helsinki.fi)
• Ulpukka Isopahkala-Bouret is stepping down in 2022 and we will try to find a suitable person to replace her as network convener.
