Editorial

Helena Saraiva e Sónia Nogueira

The 35th edition of Grudisletter reaches the Grudis Network by the end of April 2026 and, in line with our strategy to internationalize the Network and the adoption of English as the primary language, this is the first edition of the Grudisletter published with English at the forefront. This does not mean that we no longer welcome contributions in Portuguese – we most certainly do! – only that the Grudisletter reflects the official language of the Grudis Network.

In this issue, Ana Isabel Lopes provides an overview of the most recent Grudis Conference & Doctoral Colloquium, an event that marked a particularly symbolic moment, celebrating 25 years of promoting accounting research in the national and international academic sphere.

The Grudis Ambassadors section looks at the case of IPB (Bragança Polytecnhic Institute), presented by Nuno Ribeiro, who prompts us to reflect on the important role of Grudis Ambassadors in disseminating the Network’s values, ideals and goals.

In the next section, we bring the list of publications produced by the Grudis Network members. We take the opportunity to remind you that the publication notification form used to collect this information is permanently open and thus can be used at any time. We also remind the Grudisletter only includes lists publications of articles in indexed journals, which may be published (i.e. cited with full volume, issue, and page details) or forthcoming, and always once only per article.

This time the “An Insightful Read” section is written by Susana Jorge (Coimbra University), who brings us an highly topical and relevant subject such as Accounting for Emergency: Why Accounting Research Matters in Times of War.

After this, José Moreira offers us an insightful reflection on the role of AI in the field of accounting, both in a professional environment and in an educational context.

Finally, in this edition, Aldónio Ferreira, on behalf of the Executive Team, tells us about how the Network has grown and what its vision is for the coming years, as well as how to build this future, now that the network is celebrating its 25th birth anniversary.
