The annual BeNA General Assembly 2026 was held on January 19 at DIW Berlin. Members of the Berlin Network of Labor Market Research (BeNA e.V.) met to review past activities, take formal decisions, and discuss the network’s future direction.
Members then discussed the planning of future BeNA activities, including workshops, lecture series, and other network events, as well as the allocation of organizational tasks within the network.

After two years of service, the old board members—Aiko Schmeisser, Annica Gehlen, Felix Degenhardt, and Max Deter—hand over their responsibilities. The new BeNA board consists of the following members:
The former board members thank the network for their engagement and commitment to fostering exchange among applied economists in Berlin. We welcome the newly elected board and wish them success in the coming term!
