The idea for a Joint Sessions WS was launched at the kick-off seminar of @CompIntra in October 2018, Helsinki. My participation in that project was the most enriching experience of my time as a postdoc, hands down. This publication also marks the end of a challenging time 5/

[Åsa von Schoultz @asa_vonschoultz]

This new special issue in Party Politics offers a unique contribution to the field of intra-party competition! Thanks for all your hard work @gertjanput & @CoffeHilde who also contributed to making the @CompIntra project a success. I am so grateful to have you both in my network!

Our project memebers @asa_vonschoultz @CoffeHilde and @ThHelimaki with a blog post about the gendered ways of campaigning in Finland #vaalit - men campaign more negatively compared to women candidates, at least in the 2019 elections.

[IPR @UniofBathIPR]

New on the blog: Research by @CoffeHilde (@Polis_Bath), @ThHelimaki and @asa_vonschoultz (@SocSciHelsinki) suggests that political campaigning is still gendered – even in countries with high levels of gender equality, such as Finland.

New publication out @ElectoralStdies with @UNamur and @UCLouvain_be colleagues @JeremyDodeigne & Ferdinand Teuber.

We webscraped ~ 500k preference vote scores in Belgium and find that intraparty competition is comparatively lower in urban contexts

🚨Publication alert🚨
Ideology vs PVEAs - when do they matter? We show that party list composition is the key - when there are less recognisable candidates, ideology matters.

I have, together with fantastic colleagues decided to play the national research lottery @SuomenAkatemia. And would you belive it, we submitted five hours before the deadline! This must be a new personal record! @SocSciHelsinki @helsinkiuni @CompIntra

[Gert-Jan Put @gertjanput]

New study published in Parliamentary Affairs with colleagues @Gaspar_UGent. Using data on members of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives during six terms, we investigated whether their parliamentary activity is rewarded by parties in subsequent candidate selection processes.1/

Interesting article in @hsfi about MPs deciding not to run in the 2023 elections. This opens the floor for ambitious newcomers since MPs tend to dominate competition. But how large is the "incumbency advantage" in Finnish elections? 1/4

Final workshop of the @CompIntra project with a fantastic group of scholars gathered! Interesting discussions and sun. What more do you need? @SocSciHelsinki @SuomenAkatemia

[Gert-Jan Put @gertjanput]

A pleasure to see the @CompIntra colleagues in person in sunny Helsinki! Presenting work in progress with @CoffeHilde and listening to fresh projects on intraparty competition during the final project workshop.
