We cordially invite members and prospective members of the Berlin Network of Labor Market Research (BeNA e.V.) to our annual general assembly on January 19, 2026, at 4 pm in the Karl-Popper-Room at DIW Berlin.
Each year, we meet to plan BeNA’s future. For this, we need as many interested people as possible to (1) take a vote on our new board and annual account, (2) discuss our future activities, (3) volunteer for tasks within the network, or (4) simply see what we are doing and become a member.
The agenda includes:
- Welcome
- Determination of the number of voting members
- Election of the secretary
- Approval of the agenda
- Review of BeNA activities 2025
- Report of the cash auditor
- Discharge of the board
- Election of the new board members
- Planning new BeNA activities (incl. the allocation of tasks/organizing teams)
After two years serving on the BeNA board, the current members (Aiko, Annica, Felix, & Max) will pass on the baton to a new team. Anyone interested in running for the position of board member can declare their interest in advance by contacting info@labor-research.net to be put up for election. Serving on the BeNA board has been a great pleasure and honor. We highly recommend anyone interested to give it a go.
There is also a wide range of further possibilities to participate in the network. If you’ve been considering getting more involved with BeNA, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our activities and how you can contribute. Would you like to shape the network actively? You could:
- Organize BeNA activities (workshops, lecture series, guru talks, skills camps)
- Volunteer for smaller tasks (maintenance of the membership list, newsletter, website, X, BlueSky)
Please feel free to invite junior researchers interested in joining the network.
We look forward to seeing you at the general assembly!
