Become a member of ESPU Research Committee

application form filling

Dear colleagues,

The ESPU has established a Research Committee to promote research activities among members. The Board appoints members for a 3-year period with the possibility of reappointment. The Research Committee is composed of both European and non-European members and they all must be members of the ESPU or ESPUN.

Since its creation, we have managed to spread out entries and departures into the committee to ensure continuity and coherence. The number of members can vary between 8 and 12.

To keep an active database of potential candidates, we suggest anybody interested in joining the committee can send in their application including CV and motivation letter at any time to research@espu.org. This will allow the committee to evaluate candidates from Europe and outside and invite them for an interview as and when needed, to replace those leaving the committee. 

Indeed, we need to keep a balance between members provenance meaning the criteria to join the committee can vary according to its composition.

As such, any member of the ESPU or ESPU-N can send her or his application directly through the website,

Thanks,

On behalf of the ESPU Research committee,
Luke Harper
Chair
