Work with Imagining Europe
Currently, the project is in year 2 (of 4) of its development. That means that at this time the Italian and Estonian data collections are being organized. For this reason, we are looking for new team members located in Italy to help with data collection (the Estonian team has already been set up, but if you would like to contribute, feel free to contact us).

Below is a description of the post of team member (for the extended research plan, click here). If you need additional information or want to get in touch, please send an e-mail to Jeroen@ImaginingEurope.com or register your interest here.
