Many thanks to the jury for the award and their appreciations: it is truly an honor to receive it! A special thanks also to my brilliant colleague Alejandro, who saw the potential of an idea born almost by chance during a half-hour chat a year and a half ago, and which we later turned into a paper!

Honored to receive the Best Paper Prize 2024 from @politicalnets.bsky.social together with the brilliant Luigi Schiavo. Many thanks to the jury and colleagues!

After large-scale disasters autocrats often shift the blame on others to save their popularity. Our 🚨new paper🚨, just accepted at Perspectives on Politics, shows that this tactic is prone to backfire. With @edwardgoldring.bsky.social & @fapaydin.bsky.social . shorturl.at/v6wIV%E2%AC%...

I don't know how our wifi at the uni continues to work at the moment, but this is where we are at right now: www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Ever felt uneasy about how concepts & measures of "grey zone" autocracies are used interchangeably across the literature? Then check out my 🚨new paper🚨 in @democratization.bsky.social and get some substance to back up your gut feeling: tinyurl.com/ypdm2kna Or at least read the main points below ⬇️

It has indeed been a great pleasure to introduce some basic notions related to policy networks and social network analysis to ISPOLE UCLouvain doctoral researchers. Many thanks @ccrellin.bsky.social for the excellent organization and hospitality!

Glad to have had organized the ISPOLE PhD capacity building session on #PoliticalNetworks. It was a pleasure to have invited @cbravuna.bsky.social to present such a rich and informative seminar!

An #unacknowledgement - we need more of these

How do you get a PhD position in the Netherlands? As a PhD coordinator @fggaleiden.bsky.social I receive many requests about how to get into our PhD programmes. Most of the time, I politely turn them down for all kinds of good reasons, so here are my 2 cents about how to apply.

Think tankers and academics to European leaders this evening… Dear Leaders, Don’t look at us now please. Just read our past papers (yes, the ones from years ago). We literally put it in black and white for you. Thanks and best regards.

This is absolutely gross! Even for Labour!

We are hiring! Two PhD positions in EU Foreign Policy at Leiden University within the EUFOG project (which has in total 18 PhD positions!). Please help us spread the word! www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/vacancies...

I'm really happy to see my first single-author paper titled "Power, governance, and coordination in the prevention of violent extremism and terrorism: towards multi-agency counterterrorism?". Many thanks to those that helped me to make this possible! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The last edition of the @ecpr.bsky.social POLNET Winter School has just come to an end! During 5 intense days, 7 instructors have brought SNA closer to over 30 scholars from all over the world. Thank you IBEI for hosting us and see you soon!
