Give the comprehensive nature of the undertaking within the framework laid down by the DESCnet and the AESC, it seemed to be a daunting taks for me when I was asked by Professor Thomas Kruessmann to prepare the editorial for the fifth issue of the DESCnet Newsletter. Going through the previous issue, I came across highly valuable information on upcoming events, news, opinions, and new publications. The Newsletter has in my experience been of immense assistance in familiarising newcommers like myself with the obhectives, the achivements, and the serious scholarship displayed in the context of DESCnet and the AESC. The diversification and consolidation of the acticvities of the Consortium and Association over time, along with the emphasis on openness and inclusiveness, constitute what I regret as the most fulfilling aspects of the endeavour.
