As the year draws to a close, we would like to extend warm season’s greetings to our entire community – our members, partners, collaborators, and friends across the region and beyond.

This season invites us to reflect with gratitude on the collective efforts, resilience, and shared vision that continue to strengthen research and education connectivity in West and Central Africa. Your commitment to collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing remains at the heart of our progress and impact.

As we look ahead to 2026, we remain committed to working with you to advance open, inclusive, and sustainable research and education networks that support development, discovery, and transformation across our region.

We wish you and your loved ones the best of the season and a New Year filled with good health, success, and renewed opportunities.
