seems to say that the stock photos on the pages are due to a technical problem. That doesn't seem credible to me. Among other things, posted a link showing pages that have recently been deleted from reception.eu: web.archive.org/web/diff/20221 There I find an image of myself, clearly a photomontage that I never knew anything about.

Along with other notable colleagues, I seem to have been listed on the Receptio.eu site for a while as a member of

's organizational staff. I never was. Rather, asked me, together with a number of very renowned colleagues, some time ago if I would like to be a member of the scientific advisory board of the so-called “Dante Institute” of Receptio.

I took part in the first meeting of this body and then carefully withdrew, obviously they wanted to use us primarily to involve illustrious guests. As far as I know, there have been no activities of this institute, we haven’t received any update via email.
