ERF welcomes new affiliates for 2024
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 June 2024 the affiliation of twenty nine 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 455 affiliates: 300 Research Fellows; 78 Research Associates; 45 Senior Associates and 32 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.
