Social Events and Cheese Award
The social programme provided a welcome reception in the town hall of Bern, modern arts at the Paul Klee Museum combined with the beautiful sound of Eliana Burki's alphorn and a symposium dinner with four traditional buffets on the mountain Gurten. On Thursday afternoon a big delegation visited the Agrosocpe Liebefeld-Posieux Research Station ALP. The social events ended with a trip to Grindelwald, where some participants performed skiing and some made a visit to the Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe).

At the symposium dinner the first Swiss Cheese Award "Best Cheese Scientist Worldwide" was presented. Here a short extract from the laudatio: "The award goes to a person who like no other has supported the networking of Cheese Science and exchange of knowledge on an international basis. There is surely no international panel of experts within the cheese world on which our winner does not play a major role. Yet our winner is very conscious of the fact that science must not be carried out in an ivory tower but supply answers to important social and economic questions. Without the winner of our award none of us would be here tonight, since our winner actually invented the Cheese Ripening Symposium and organized the first three occasions with extreme enthusiasm and also in the last months we could always count on her competent advice. The Cheese Award goes to Ylva Ardö".

I've been around quite a bit, but Bern really is a fantastic city and the Bernese Oberland is simply one of the most beautiful regions in the world. And the people living in Bern and the Bernese Oberland - there's nobody like them. I'm one of the better sorts. One thing for sure: Bern has a lot to offer! Pity our bears will be hibernating, but even so you will have a grrreat time in Bern. I'll keep you up to date with regular e-mails. So register for the Newsletter - then you're sure not to miss anything. It would be best to keep a few free days before and after the symposium. And get plenty of sleep before you start out. The nightlife in Bern is a well-kept secret. After all, there has to be an antidote to all those interesting papers and presentations. And you certainly don't want to go to bed before Ueli.
Bern came 9th among the 215 cities surveyed In the international Mercer Study on quality of life. We are currently developing an integration programme for all those conference participants who don't want to go back home...
