Dafna Lemish from Tel Aviv University, the founding editor of JOCAM gave an enthusiastic talk on the possible collaborations between CAM and JOCAM. Ellen Wartella and Joanne Cantor, pioneers in the field and among the founding mothers of our discipline, gave their view on the future of the field and on the importance of ICA's CAM for the discipline.
