ERF welcomes new affiliates for 2023
ERF is proud to have been growing steadily as the leading network in the region of distinguished economists since 1993. We are delighted that the ERF Board of Trustees approved in May 2023 the affiliation of forty five new researcher fellows and associates from the region.
Our affiliation is a highly selective process based on a robust review and assessment criteria. Our affiliates come from prominent research and academic institutions region-wide as well as from national and international organizations world-wide. They bring to the network impressive research and policy expertise and provide the potential for mentoring promising young scholars.
As of date, our network includes a total of 438 affiliates: 285 Research Fellows; 76 Research Associates; 46 Senior Associates and 31 Policy Affiliates.
Warm welcome to all. Looking forward to your valuable contribution and engagement to further extend our mission towards promoting sustainable development in the region.
