The topic of sustainable development is one of the most pressing of modern times. It is imperative that research is shared and best practices discussed so that we may build a future that conserves natural resources while still meeting the needs of society.

On February 23rd, 2024, the A&A Board finalised their selection for this year's A&A Awards, recognising exceptional work of early-career researchers in the field.

As part of EDP Sciences' ongoing commitment to furthering open science, this news update is the second in our "Road to Open" series, highlighting the sustained support for open access in mathematics journals through Subscribe to Open (S2O). The series offers a monthly showcase of advancements at both the journal and publisher level, focusing on successful implementations of open publishing models like S2O. This news piece celebrates the collaborative efforts of the library community, publishers, and funding bodies in ensuring the continued dissemination of high-quality mathematics research without the imposition of article processing charges.

The Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology (JECT) is pleased to announce that it has been accepted into the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The journal joins over 20 000 other high-quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals that meet DOAJ's strict criteria and are dedicated to promoting open access to scholarly and scientific content.

As part of EDP Sciences’ ongoing commitment to furthering open science, this post forms the first in a series of monthly updates highlighting advancements at both the journal and publisher level. The series will share case studies on different open publishing models and the journals that are proving them to be viable alternatives to the traditional subscription model. It will also offer commentary on both the process and impact of transitioning towards becoming a fully open publisher. Join the conversation on social media with #RoadToOpen

In commemoration of the Société Française de Physique's (SFP) 150th anniversary, EDP Sciences has successfully contributed to a series of five Masterclasses titled "Master classes itinérantes". These events, primarily targeting PhD students in physics and related fields, were organized across France. The Masterclasses aimed to enhance participants' skills in scientific writing, while providing insights into scientific publishing and the evolving landscape of Open Science.

We are pleased to announce that two of our journals have been honoured at the 24th Editorial Grand Prix of the Press and Publishing of Healthcare Professions, an event hosted by SPEPS (Syndicat de la Presse et de l’Édition des Professions de Santé). The award ceremony took place on November 22 in Paris. From a total of 154 submitted articles, 14 articles were awarded.

In observance of Open Access Week 2023 (#oaweek23), we underscore our commitment to advancing the principles of open science and facilitating the unrestricted dissemination of scientific research. As a leading European publisher established in collaboration with learned societies, we have been strong proponents of open access initiatives and policies, aiming to advance these whenever possible.

The Portuguese Optical Society (SPOF) has recently joined the Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP), further enhancing the collaborative network within the national optical sciences community to develop the journal.

We are thrilled to congratulate Pierre Agostini, Anne L’Huillier, and Ferenc Krausz on their receipt of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. Their transformative research on attosecond light pulses stands as a monumental achievement in our understanding of ultrafast phenomena, especially the intricate behaviours of electrons. Two of the laureates, Agostini and L'Huillier, have French origins, and their work contributes to the global scientific community from their current academic homes in the United States and Sweden, respectively. We are especially proud of our association with Anne L'Huillier who was a previous editor of EPJ-D, and of the fact that all three have published articles in our journals, including the EPJ series, Web of Conferences, and Journal de Physique.
