Welcome to the September 2022 issue of the EVN/JIVE Newsletter.

A lot has happened since May. Most important we have finally been able to attend meetings in person and share the lively and collaborative spirit our VLBI community has always shared. The 15th EVN Symposium in Cork and the VLBI Special session at the IAU GA in Busan are important landmarks for a return to normality.

OPTICON RadioNet Pilot (ORP) is one of the European Commission's 'pilot' programs under EC H2020, launched in March 2021. This four-year project brings together 37 institutions to support and develop seamless access to radio and optical facilities. Through various processes, ORP brings together radio and optical astronomers to create a stronger community to better exploit the opportunities of multi-wavelength science and to benefit from each other's expertise.
