Before I sign off, I want to let you know that this will be the last letter from me, as my time as the e-Learning Editor-in-Chief comes to an end.
I want to extend my gratitude to the entire e-Learning Editorial Team. Working with you has been incredibly rewarding, and I am proud of the great achievements and milestones we accomplished. Thank you, Kostas, Marietta, Susanna, Henit, Pierre, Nuru, Gabriele, Natalia and Uri.
As many of the current editorial team's terms are scheduled to conclude at the ECCO'26 Congress, the transition will officially take place during the ECCO General Assembly.
At that time, the new incoming Editor-in-Chief, Uri Kopylov, will start afresh with the new members joining the editorial team. I wish them all the very best for their term!
To all our e-Learning Platform users and readers: thank you for your engagement, your feedback, and for making the e-Learning platform the successful tool it is today.
I wish you all the very best in your continued learning journeys.
