Nominations for the 2018 BERA Council Elections are now open. There are 4 vacancies on our Council (Board of Trustees).
In recent years BERA has been going from strength to strength with record membership, a wide array of events, a successful annual conference and our four Journals as well as Research Intelligence and the Blog. BERA Council has significantly contributed to this; setting strategic priorities, providing academic leadership and helping our engagement within and beyond the academy.
