Dear network members, 

I’m delighted to welcome you to Glasgow, Scotland, for the Spring 2024 Network Meeting! As our last meeting as International Coordinating Centre, it is a special honour to be able to host the meeting in our home city. 

Glasgow, known for its warm hospitality, rich history, and vibrant culture, promises a memorable experience with its array of art, music, shops, bars, cafés, and restaurants. We’re sure you will enjoy your visit here! 

This is an important meeting for the network as we prepare for the upcoming survey round and firm up plans for the 2025/26 protocol. It’s also a time of transition as we pass the ICC baton to Oddrun and the Norwegian team, and we look forward to hearing more about their future plans. 

The programme is brimming with opportunities to present and discuss our scientific research, so I encourage you to submit your abstracts once the call is announced. Above all, this gathering is a chance to reunite, reflect, and rejuvenate our collective spirit and vision. 

I look forward to meeting you all in person once again!
Jo
