This issue 193 focuses on the potential synergies between ESO and SKAO facilities and what science would be possible with well-planned coordinated surveys. The specific cases of exploring with such surveys the Galaxy, galaxy formation and evolution, cosmology, and the epoch of reionisaiton are presented in a series of articles. Further in this issue the VST-SMASH survey and its first results are presented, as well as the latest news on the ongoing upgrades of GRAVITY+.
The Latest Edition of ESO's Science and Technology Journal, The Messenger, is now Available Online.
The Astronomical News section describes the planned introduction of a Yearly call and a Fast Track channel at ESO and the various opportunities for scientific visits of our astronomy community to Chile. It also features reports from a selection of ESO workshops in the last year, namely "A Decade of ESO Wide-field Imaging Surveys" and "What was that? - Planning ESO follow-up for transients, variables, and Solar System objects in the era of LSST". Reports on the "ALMA at Ten Years: Past, Present and Future" conference and the 2024 La Silla Observing School are also presented.
As per ESO's tradition, the issue concludes with the profiles of some of ESO's astronomy fellows.
