Editorial
Dear Readers,

The 1st Interdisciplinary Alumni Conference in Southeast Asia took place in the Vietnamese Capital of Hanoi at the beginning of this month. Leading theme was the regional integration of the ASEAN with regard to different topical aspects, and the participants filled the topic with life. However, most important is that their offer still holds: continuous dialogue and cooperation – across borders and special fields. We accepted the invitation of the work group "Free and Open Software in Public Health" and gained amazing insights. Or did you know that an SMS could be good for your health?

We wish you an interesting read!

Engelbert Veelbehr and the InWEnt Alumni Team
