Dr. Antonios Kafa from the Open University of Cyprus took over the role of the link convenor from Dr. Pierre Tulowitzki. This year's conference marked the return of the participants with physical attendance, and we had the opportunity to engage in a constructive discussion about the success and sustainability of our network. Also, NW26. Educational Leadership continues to be successful and is among the top 10 biggest networks of EERA. This is reflected in the 95 accepted submissions for presentation at this year's conference. Also, based on discussions with colleagues in our network, everyone agreed that the sessions were mostly well attended. Overall, participants had praise for the coherence of the sessions ('papers fit well together').
