My ambition is to enlarge the base of industries, public actors and researchers, collaborating into ALICE in order to strenghten our influence range”.
Francois Regis, will be supported by two vice-chairs and five thematic chairs.
After 3 years of mandate of Sergio Barbarino (P&G) and having been P&G in the chair since ALICE creation in 2013, Sergio Barbarino will continue to develope a key role in the executive group as Vice-Chair, he said:
“One of the things I am most proud in my life is to have started a lot initiatives that are still standing despite I have not being active in them for years.
I have been in Alice since the very beginning, P&G and I have always had a firm intention to have a rotating leadership. Therefore, I am very proud of the fact that we have a great new chairman, both the person and the company he represents. In the past months I learned a lot from L’OREAL position on Urban Logistics. Smarticities is one of the 5 prioriry areas for Horizon Europe, so this change will be very beneficial .
P&G and myself also realize that continuity matters, especially in complex technical areas. It has been a career choice within P&G of becoming a subject matter expert, rather than a manager, and I am very proud of my management support for this change of role within ALICE that allows both rotation and continuity”
