Color Worldwide: a review of 2024 types of research, applications, education, social impact, and culture: Editors Note 2024

This contribution offers a reasoned overview of the activities carried out during 2024 in all areas of research, application, education, dissemination, social and cultural, of the associations and study groups that belong to the AIC - International Colour Association. Thematic areas organize the contents to provide a transversal vision of the main areas of research, application, education, and dissemination related to color. The approach adopted is descriptive and designed for a community of teachers and researchers active in multiple disciplinary fields involving color. The richness and variety of the activities reported by the associations and study groups testify to the vitality of an international network developed worldwide, engaged in multiple directions: from scientific research to education, from design applications to artistic experimentation, up to social and cultural impact. The year 2024 also saw the celebration of significant anniversaries, the publication of scientific and dissemination volumes, the organization of international and national conferences, and active participation in the AIC2024 Midterm Meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
