A busy first day at the European Group for Public Administration annual conference in Athens, a city that has a long tradition (26 centuries was mentioned) of discussions about what makes for good government ! @IIAS_IISA #EGPA2024

Really good opening plenary on AI and political science at ECPR General Conference in Dublin #ecprgc24 . Challenges for research, teaching and the practice of politics. But we can’t get carried away by the hype either! @HAPPatQUB

Thanks to my @psaitweets Public Policy Specialist Group co-chair @conorlittle for organising a superb workshop on Irish policy agendas at @NUIMerrionSq. Great to see some new faces in this growing research field. @HAPPatQUB @POLITICSUL @TCDPoliticalSci @ucdpolitics

Our Global Policy North workshop led by @drjacktaggart from @HAPPatQUB kicks off in @QUBelfast @Global_Policy @Durham_SGIA

Thanks to family, friends and colleagues who attended my inaugural lecture last night (especially those who made it through the Dublin snow!). It’s been a long road and I’m very grateful for all the help along the way🙏. Thanks also to @EatAtQueens for great catering @HAPPatQUB

Almost 4 years since we submitted the application to @MSCActions for the @QUBCitigens project, and almost 3 since they walked in the door of @QUBelfast, we’re hosting what is likely to be our last gathering of the successful Early Stage Researchers today. 🎓 @qubgradschool

Thanks to @ArtOLeary for taking time out from #PSAI2023 participation to speak to @HAPPatQUB postgraduate students about the role of the Irish President and his work as CEO of new Irish Electoral Commission @psaitweets

Very pleased in my new role as Head of Politics & Int. Relations @QUBelfast to welcome 4 new colleagues to @HAPPatQUB as we start the 23/24 academic year. @AnastasiaErsho8 (Public Policy) @partisjh (IR) @DrChrisLong1 (IR) @SarahWagnerPhD (Pol Sci). Wishing them every success! 🎓

Great to have Prime Ministers engaging with academics across Europe - here in Zagreb 🇭🇷 PM Andrej Plenković addresses the #EGPA2023 opening plenary on the issue of steering the EU through poly-crises, on the 10th anniversary of Croatian accession to the Union. @IIAS_IISA

Sorry to be missing #UACES2023 organised by my colleagues at @HAPPatQUB this week but my excuse is attending the European Group for Public Administration annual conference in Zagreb, home of several unusual museums…@IIAS_IISA #EGPA2023
