The number of submissions for EERA's ECER 2023 conference has increased considerably compared to the previous years. We have grown from a small NW to a medium-sized NW. Furthermore, the quality of contributions has increased as well. 71% of contributions were of the highest quality. Another positive change was that all the presenters had shown up at the conference and had presented their research. We are glad to welcome newcomers from different countries. Kazakhstan has to be mentioned therein and their active participation in school education sector is an additional benefit to the NW. During the year we have been working on creating a data base of high quality cited journals for NW11 publications. The work will continue and we expect to come up with quite a solid data base by the next conference.
