The next few weeks could begin a shift that would make the Democratic Party more attractive to more Americans for decades.

Eerste indrukken #regeerakkoord:
1. Eerst het zoet dan het zuur. De regering gaat het eerste jaar geld uitdelen (7,4 mrd budgettaire verruiming in 2025) en gaat pas daarna bezuinigen. De timing is saillaint. De politieke pijn van ingrepen in publieke sector wordt uitgesteld.

Sadly, great primatologist Frans de Waal passed away. Many thought provoking questions and insights concerning human morality, power, kindness and culture in his work. For one recent interview, on his last book: https://t.co/T2ZYv23cp1

Happy Valentines day! Is there love between Eastern and Western Europe? Find out from our brand new @jepp_journal article, co-written with @ClaraVol Rachel Epstein and @AdamFagan24 on the East-West divide in the European Union! Spoiler: It's complicated.

Very happy that this has found a home in a cool journal like @RIPEJournal 🥳🥳🥳

This is the third paper out of my PhD thesis, it took me 5 years to publish it because I work following Five-year plans 👨‍🔧👨‍🔧👨‍🔧

like former supervisors @DoroBohle, @luciobaccaro and @TheresaJKuhn who helped me push on and improve. After the academic adventure started in 2017 and 6 countries of residence and various failed applications later, I found a great base, even around the corner of my high school

Update: a month ago I started as assistant prof @UUUSBO / Utrecht School of Governance! Here with my great students of the Master European Governance today, where I do most of my teaching...

[Jasper Simons @jasperpsimons]

My 3rd position after I finished my PhD at @EUI_EU, grateful to have the possibility to be in an amazing place (hopefully) for the years to come, after stays as postdoc at @MPIfG_Cologne and lecturer at European Studies @UvA_Humanities. Many thanks to previous colleagues...

Hungary is reportedly set to receive almost €1 billion in EU funds without any conditions attached, after RRF and cohesion funds have been withheld for quite some time on rule of law grounds.

A thread on the mechanics behind this number:

@EmmaHoes93 @TheresaJKuhn Take a week in Sweden in between to gain info on format that could well happen in NL too :p
