AGM
The EuroDoc General Assembly will convene following the annual conference, on 16-17 July. Here, the new EuroDoc board will be elected. Only delegates of the national associations (including SiN) can vote, but all doctoral candidates and junior researchers affiliated in Norway that are interested can nominate themselves for a board position, secretariat position, or a member of one of the working groups. Below you will find information on the different positions that are up for election this year.
Interested members should contact SiN at styret@stipendiat.no with a short statement describing their experience, motivation and ambitions for EuroDoc. SiN will then forward the Norwegian nominations to EuroDoc, who will organise the election process. Note: you don't need to be physically present at the AGM to be elected, you just have to submit an application!
