The call for candidates to the Coordination Team of the AESOP Young Academics Network is open April 29th until May 7th 2019.

The AESOP YA Network is an AESOP working group in particular addressed at planners who have only recently entered the academic world: PhD students, postdocs, people starting in academic positions. The activities of the AESOP YA network are complementary to other activities that are being deployed within AESOP as a whole.

Being a member of the Coordination Team of the YA Network means responsibility and great opportunities. You will be involved in the organisation of international activities (conferences and workshops organization; journal editing, blog, and booklet series) and have the opportunity to gain international experiences, improve your capacities to work, and expand your international networks through cooperation with both young and senior scholars.

At the last AESOP Council of Representatives in Ljubljana, Paulo Silva was elected as the future GPEAN Representative, for the mandate running from July 2019 to July 2023, replacing Ela Babalik, who has been in this position since 2013.

The GPEAN Representative is a member of the Executive Committee and will be responsible to represent AESOP's interests in the Global Network and promote cooperation amongst member associations of planning schools across the world.
