In our latest Springboard Blog, published alongside Springer Nature’s Annual Report, our CEO, Frank Vrancken Peeters, reflects on a year shaped by growth, innovation and close collaboration with the communities we serve - and on what it takes to ensure research remains open, trusted and valuable at scale. The blog looks back at progress made in 2025, from expanding open access through global partnerships to investing in technology that supports quality and integrity across the publishing process. It also sets out how we are continuing to work with researchers, institutions and partners worldwide to meet growing expectations around openness, speed and trust. Looking ahead, the message is clear: progress depends on partnership. As the research landscape continues to evolve, we remain committed to listening to our communities, acting responsibly as a business, and working together to advance discovery for the benefit of society. 👉 Read the Springboard Blog: http://spklr.io/6047EKy6V 👉 And explore our Annual Report: http://spklr.io/6041EKy6Z #BePartOfProgress
