This issue will be the last one for both of us. Paul must be credited for starting this journal almost 7 years ago. Paolo was added to the editorial board one year after. We both worked together for making the journal grow. With the help of an excellent editorial board, ACTA Imeko has now a steady flux of submitted papers, it is listed under Elsevier Scopus and papers are cited and consistently read by the community of scientists working in measurement around the world. ACTA Imeko is and will remain an open-access journal for the benefit of this community. A new editor-in-chief will manage this journal, starting from the first issue of 2018: Dusan Agrez, a professor with the University of Ljubljana, was appointed to this role. We wish him success in bringing ACTA Imeko to new achievements. This is the occasion to thank, especially, some of the people that worked hard over the last years to produce this journal: Dirk Roeske and Rosario Morello. A big thank also to German PTB for the continuous support provided to ACTA Imeko and to Judit Farago at IMEKO. Finally, thank you all for your contributions to ACTA Imeko, as authors and readers.
