Meet the new Graduate Student Network Committee

"As members of the newly elected Graduate Student Network Committee, we would like to thank everybody who participated in the elections. We look forward to re-launching the GSN, which we believe can serve as a platform for increased graduate student networking in Europe and beyond. The truly diverse composition of the Committee reflects our broad interests as well as the international dimension of our joint cooperation. As graduate students, we all face a range of similar challenges and opportunities, and the GSN should be a place where our common interests can be promoted.

One of our primary objectives for the near future is to ensure a more visible and active GSN by enhancing our presence in social media and other communication channels. Similarly, we want to organise events targeting graduate students at major ECPR events, starting with the 2013 General Conference in Bordeaux.

Promoting graduate students' welfare, building professional networks and strengthening the sense of community amongst graduate students will be the long-term priorities of the new GSN Committee. Step by step we hope to strengthen the network though the GSN Committee and the larger community. We thank you again for supporting us!"

Further details will be available on the ECPR website in due course. If you are interested in joining the ECPR Graduate Student Network, please email Louise Soper (lhawk@essex.ac.uk).
