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.

The Coordination Team (CT) holds the managerial powers of the Young Academics Network. The mandate period of the member of the Coordination Team is two years.
