The first months of 2023 EUROLAB was particularly engaged in events and training activities, as the successful webinar on microplastics, and strategic planning with members and stakeholders. Information on the main actions of the Federation is summarized are in this first number of the newsletter 2023. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that EUROLAB is, relying on a very limited economic budget that allows us to support the activities of the Secretariat. In addition, it is the great personal, and totally voluntary, contribution of the members of the Board, the TCQA, the delegates representing us in the various fora, those who prepare and share technical information, presentations, documents.
