It is with pleasure that I am able to inform you that the Council of the University of Antwerp in its meeting of 22 November 2002 decided to award RAWA an honorary doctorate for meritorious service to society. By conferring an honorary doctorate for meritorious service to society, the University of Antwerp wishes to honour the outstanding social achievements which have earned the members of RAWA international renown and great moral stature. Allow me to congratulate RAWA again upon the award of the honorary doctorate and to express the hope that I shall have the honour of meeting you in person in the near future.
Prof. Dr. F. Van Loon
