With the new academic year just a few days away, we’re welcoming our new FASoS Maastricht students this week! Wishing them a good and fun start! 🎓🥳

This can’t be a coincidence ⁦UACES!⁩ Surely they will make a guest appearance during the #UACES2024 conference dinner?

#UACES2024 morning exercise. Boring course, despite the lovely mountains. But on track - 5 weeks to go until #marathon. Looking forward to the #JCMS annual lecture this afternoon!

My article on European Parliament #elections, the Dutch #press and #Euroscepticism has just assigned to ⁦JCMS⁩ volume 62, issue 5 ⁦Europees Parlement NL⁩ ⁦FASoS Maastricht ⁦UACES⁩ 👉🏼 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jc…

This morning’s panel on #teaching and #learning games and other methods was an excellent start of the first day of #UACES2024 panels. Thanks a lot to Jan Grzymski Monika Brusenbauch Meislova Claudio M Radaelli for their interesting talks.

⁦Simon Usherwood⁩ and I presented our #cycling papers today - might have been the first papers on cycling at the ⁦UACES⁩ annual conference (?). Start of a new track 😉

Thanks to Monika Brusenbauch Meislova for introducing the term “intellectual sauna” at the start of panel on #Euroscepticism and #contestation in a very warm #UACES2024 conference room 😉🥵🚰

Lovely day at #UACES2024 yesterday. Great panels, great plenary, great conference dinner.

Another great UACES conference Università di Trento - Thanks to the office team for all of their brillant work in organizing & congrats to Simon Usherwood as his time as Chair comes to an end. Wishing new Chair prof toni haastrup all the very best in the new role. #UACES24

Headed up Monte Soprasasso. Impressive views, and interesting Austro-Hungarian WWI fortifications. Perfect end to a great week in Trento. Thanks to the organisers and the ⁦UACES⁩ team for another great conference - and so nice to meet so many old and new academic friends!

We had an amazing time at #UACES2024. We hope everyone made it home safely and had a great experience. Save the date for the UACES 55th Annual Conference 2025 which will be hosted at Liverpool John Moores University from 31 August – 03 September 2025. See you next year for #UACES2025! 👋

The party you were probably unaware of: 80 years of #Benelux cooperation 🇧🇪🇱🇺🇳🇱🍾

The statue itself surely doesn’t depict the king of pop 🕺🏿

Asked a lot of learned friends and they convinced me that Bluesky may actually work (Mastodon was useless, sorry). Just created account, do follow me bsky.app/profile/patric…

Vuelta & ToB aside, the result of the day is 21-year-old Fariba Hashimi from Afghanistan winning the queen stage on Mont Lozère in Tour de l'Ardèche today. She and her sister escaped the Taliban where girls have zero rights. Inspirational, emotional bbc.com/news/articles/…

Just saying

Late to the party but still
