The Revista Lusófona de Educação (RLE), founded in 2003 as an editorial project of the former Observatory of Education Policies and Educational Contexts (OPECE) at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, begins a new chapter with the formation of a new editorial team. Over the years, the journal has established itself as an important platform for the dissemination of scientific knowledge both nationally and internationally. It is now coordinated by an exclusively female team composed of researchers Cristina Sin, Elsa Estrela, Leanete Thomas Dotta, Vanessa Russo, and Lucimar Dantas, the latter remaining from the previous editorial team.

Throughout its history, RLE has been a space for the dissemination of scientific production in the field of Education Sciences, with a mission to promote Lusophony not as a space of nostalgia, but as a platform for solidarity and cooperation between academic communities that share a common language and the goals of internationalizing their scientific output. Over the years, the journal has adapted to become increasingly cosmopolitan, with publications in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, reaffirming its commitment to global scientific dissemination.

The new editorial team aims to further enhance the visibility of the journal, both nationally and internationally, following the footsteps of previous editors such as Maria Neves Gonçalves,José Viegas Brás, and Manuel Tavares Gomes, who held editorial responsibility for the RLE throughout the past decade, solidifying it as a key reference in the field of Education Sciences.

By continuing the work of its founding editors and former leaders, RLE remains committed to promoting social science that aims to “re-enchant” educational policies and practices, ensuring the universal right for all to learn, while respecting diversity and unity.

With this new editorial team, the journal is poised to continue its trajectory of excellence, expanding its academic presence and impact on the international stage.
