Dear SAET Members,

As 2025 gives way to the New Year, I extend my best wishes and those of the Executive Committee to all our members and friends of SAET. Our Society has survived the tribulations of the pandemic and since then it has been going from strength to strength, with its conferences and journals attracting attention from the profession. Both our annual conference and our other smaller and more specialized meetings have been in high demand. In this past year we have had a very successful conference in Ischia, attended by more than 800 people, and ably managed by the local committee, headed by Achille Basile, and of course by the ever-present stalwarts of the Society, Bernard Cornet and Nicholas Yannelis, without whom these words would not have been written. Thank you all for your efforts – we look forward to more as 2026 dawns.
