The ESCLH Blog will be slowing down briefly. We will return in the New Year, from 5 January onwards, with new publications, calls, and other announcements of relevance to the Society’s members and to our wider readership.

Over the past twelve months, the Blog has attracted 1.44 million views, with visitors from the United States, Brazil, France, Germany, China, Argentina, Israel, the United Kingdom, Austria, Russia, Mexico, Canada, Poland, Turkey, and many other jurisdictions. The ESCLH Blog team is proud of this achievement and looks forward to continuing the journey in 2026.

We wish the Society’s members and our readers a relaxing winter break, and hope they will have the opportunity to step away from their screens, as the lady depicted by François Boucher.

Dear reader, the ESCLH-blog goes into holiday mode from now. Enjoy the end of 2023, and expect us back in 2024 for a fresh start from 7 January on!

We published over 480 posts this year (ergo 1,3 per day, not counting the breaks), and attracted over 260 000 views. Since its creation back in 2010, the blog counts over 2,3 million views. We are happy that the efforts of our bloggers (Piotr, Arthur, Filip, Marco, Stefano, Priyasha, Kamilia) and former bloggers (Stefania, Gilles, Flavia and Annemieke) have made this kind of amplification possible.
