The farewell of an old webmaster

Within days the EUCAST website will have a new face. Do not worry - you do not have to prepare, change or add anything.
The old webmaster bows out and someone new takes over. I have looked after the website and its transitions for exactly 25 years but have no hand in the most recent transition. I am sure you are in good hands and will enjoy the new website.
EUCAST assures you that all links to pages and documents that you may have used in national manuals, publications, websites, agency documents and references will continue to be valid also after the transistion. Here is an example - an outdated, previous version of a guidance document on tigecycline dosing, which you may or may not have used for national guidance and have not had reason or time to change. All of these will continue to be active and you should not have to experience "dead links".

I will be available for exchange of views on the old and new websites for some time ahead, as usual at gunnar.kahlmeter@eucast.org. The success of EUCAST and the usefulness of the website is evident from the statistics updated a few days ago (see the previous News item). Good luck, enjoy and thank you for your support during all these years. /Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST Technical Data Coordinator and EUCAST Webmaster
