The invisible refers not only to the microscopic world and phenomena that are too small or too fast for us to see with the naked eye, but also to some parts of the macroscopic world, too far to be observed from our backyard.

In his speech, he congratulated the new president and thanked the Students’ Union for their work so far, in particular for activities during the pandemic and those related to the effects of the war in Ukraine.
