In July, we welcomed two new staff members at ELF.

Erik Liss is ELF’s new research coordinator. He recently finished his master studies in economics and has previously worked as an intern for the ELF member organization FORES. He has also worked as a research assistant for the Swedish research institute ‘Institute for Analytical Sociology’. Main policy interests include income mobility, income inequality, migration and trade. He is seconded by ELF Swedish member organisation Fores.

Julian Schopp is the new Office Administration Intern. Julian is a graduate student from Political Sciences. “There are many places I call home but originally I’m from Germany. I consider myself as German and European. I’m very passionate about European projects and I’m looking forward to facing new challenges in my new position. I hope to get an insight into the work of ELF, to grow my network and to obtain new experiences and skills”, he says on his very first day at ELF.
