You have the choice next year between the for-profit and the not-for-profit model of a European political science conference👇. I don’t think there needs to be said anything more on this. Looking forward to seeing many at @epssnet.bsky.social

Really important PSA: it currently looks like there may be both an EPSS and an EPSA conference next summer. Please make sure people in your networks understand this distinction (see thread below).
