Happy holidays and call for content – Newsletter 03 of 2024

Dear all,
 
With this message we would first like to wish you happy holidays and a great new year! As SoRU network we have had a very interesting and lively 2024, and are looking forward to the coming year. In 2025 TG04 will host the ISA Forum in Morocco in the summer and RN22 its midterm in the Netherlands in the fall. More details on the RN22 midterm will follow early next year, but as we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of RN22 we aim for again a great get-together.
 
We want to sent out a new SoRU newsletter at the beginning of the new year. If you have information you would like to share with the network – for example regarding online workshops, conferences, new publications, expressions of interest for collaborative work, research posts, scholarships…and the like, then please drop an email at degraaff@eshpm.eur.nl before January 10th 2025.
 
Now, we would also like to share a brief announcement by our colleagues at Mid-Sweden University for an interesting master’s program. Note that the deadline for it is January 15th:
