Greetings once more esteemed scholars, thinkers and knowledge creators. You got the Global Centre for Academic Research at a 2^nd Position at an international conference organised by the Asian Qualitative Research Association, hosted virtually from the Philippines in October 2021, and then got involved in co-hosting Open Learning University conference, hosted virtually from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in November 2021. We further note with pride and joy that you have recently participated and fully hosted an international conference produced by the Australian-based IGSMP International.

We are truly proud of you esteemed scholars. We would like to celebrate the scholarship of our fellow members (as listed below, together with their publications), who participated in scholarship through conferences and publications. As we prepare for submission of ABSTRACTS for the 7^th World Conference on Qualitative Research, I would like all of us to reflect on the successes we all achieved in the past year, demonstrated by works that are featured in the ABSTRACTS BOOK of the 6^th World Conference on Qualitative Research. I would like to congratulate all of you for your efforts in making sure that your scholarly responsibilities of creating knowledge, while growing knowledge were marked with a seal of excellence through peer-reviewed ABSTRACTS, which, in certain cases, ended up as book chapters, published in Springer Nature (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-04680-3_23).

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SUBMIT ABSTRACTS FOR THE 7^TH WORLD CONFERENCE IN QUALITATIVE RESEARCH, and start preparing to inform us who of you are planning to go to Portugal in January 2023.
