This year has been a busy year for Network 1 (NW1) as the Link Convenors (LC) annual meeting in Berlin and the ECER conference returned to face-to-face meeting opportunities again after the pandemic. This year Stefan Zehetmeier represented the NW1 team of convenors at the LC meeting in Berlin As one of EERA’s largest networks, link convenors Ken Jones and Hannu Heikkinen have steadily led a team of convenors who have worked together in two teams. Hannu led the team responsible for the reviewing process with Mihaela Mitescu-Manea, Giorgio Ostinelli and Sally Windsor, while Ken has led the team of Stefan Zehetmeier and Amanda Ince taking responsibility for the planning and scheduling of the NW 1 ECER conference in-person and online programmes. Finally, after seven years as link convenor Hannu Heikkinen stepped down as link convenor (but will remain as part of the convenor team!). We are grateful for all he has done for the network over this time as link convenor. Thank you so very much Hannu. Mihaela Mitescu-Manea was nominated for, and accepted the role of link convenor.
