In this New Year we are pleased to congratulate François Paquet for his nomination as editor-in-chief for Radioprotection.

François Paquet, who replaces Henri Métivier, is an expert in different fields. A Project manager for scientific programs and strategy at the French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), he is also a professor at the National Institute of Nuclear Sciences and vice-chairman for the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).

We especially would like to thank Henri Métivier for his commitment and hard work throughout these last years.
