For several reasons 2020 will be remembered as a very special year in the AO Research Institute Davos's history. This last year was unprecedented within my life and most of our lives with the COVID 19 pandemic. It has massively changed our routine of the last years. There were some major changes in virtual networking and meetings, yet unfortunately also some detriment to how we interact, as people need face to face physical meetings for our well being and the virtual meetings are not able to replace this most basic human nature.
Thank you all in ARI and our partners in the AO Foundation for your contributions to these great achievements. I also thank the volunteer AO network for their clinical advice to our projects, enthusiasm, motivation and time. Finally thanks to the ARI AC, despite not meeting in 2020 keeping close tabs and connecting with us.
