Thematic research sections of PAES
The aim of PAES Research Sections is to strengthen relationships and potential collaborations among the Association’s members working in the same research areas and interested in similar research topics. Sections may organize workshops or panels during PAES conferences, as well as events on their own initiative, to develop specific research directions and to establish and promote specialized research groups or projects. PAES Research Sections are also encouraged to work in a transnational context, i.e., to network with international scientists and non-academic
entities through projects or events.
