Dear colleagues, members, partners and friends of IFIP,

As this year draws to a close, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to our entire global community – our Member Societies, Technical Committees and Working Groups, volunteers, partners, collaborators and the dedicated staff who support IFIP’s work every day.

Thank you for everything you have contributed over the past year: your expertise, your time, your ideas and your commitment to advancing responsible and inclusive design, development and use of information and communication technologies. It is your engagement that turns IFIP’s mission into a reality and allows us to have a meaningful impact worldwide.

Whether you are celebrating Christmas, the New Year or other festive traditions, I hope this season brings you moments of rest, joy and connection with those who are important to you. I also wish you good health, happiness and success in the year ahead.

I look forward to continuing our work together, strengthening our collaborations and building on what we have achieved so far. Thank you once again for being such an essential part of the IFIP community.

With warmest wishes for a peaceful festive season and a Happy New Year,

Professor, Dr Kai Rannenberg

IFIP President
