Editorial

This year also saw some administrative changes at Euresearch. With sadness, I note Cornelia Spycher’s decision to step down from her role as Co-Director. I fully respect and understand her deci- sion and am pleased that she will remain a part of the Euresearch family in her role as a Euresearch National Contact Point. I take this opportunity, also on behalf of the Vice-President of the Eure search Board, Antonella Santuccione Chadha, to thank Cornelia for her contributions and collegial partnership in the directorship role. Change is also coming at SERI. After many years as our SERI contact, concluding with the successful end to the negotiations for renewed participation in EU funding programmes, Philipp Langer will be leaving for new pastures. It was a great pleasure to work with him over more years than I care to recall, and I wish him the best for his future at EPFL. So, as we enter into 2025, global uncertainty abounds, but we can anticipate a normalisation of our scientific relationships with our European neighbours and partners. I look forward to the rich- ness of the collaborations and results that this normalisation will engender.

Edwin C. Constable, President Euresearch
