NEPS Steering Committee elections

The election ballot for two new councilors for the NEPS Steering Committee will start on November 19th.

All NEPS members are eligible for the elections and can vote for the NEPS councilors.

Unlike the other years, the Steering Committee has decided to suggest candidates for the elections and recommend people that distinguished themselves as members of the Network.
In particular, it has decided to endorse:
Christos Kollias, Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Thessaly and Editor of Defence and Peace Economics
and Roos Van der Haer, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Politics and Public Administration, University of Konstanz.
Please note that this decision does not affect the possibility for any member of NEPS to run as councilor. Therefore, if a member is willing to do, is expected to send her/his candidacy by the 15th of November 2015.
For further information, do not hesitate to contact Raul Caruso (raul.caruso@unicatt.it)
