Questions about this field

How should I demonstrate regional expertise?

Describe the countries, institutions and themes you cover, with research languages and methods. Include selected public analysis, project summaries, publications or relevant roles. Country of residence is recorded separately and does not establish expertise.

Are you recruiting for political advocacy?

The intended network supports independent research and professional analysis. Applications do not ask for political opinions or party affiliation. Experts should distinguish evidence, interpretation, and uncertainty rather than support a predetermined political conclusion.

Should I include confidential briefings or sources?

No. Share only permitted professional information and public examples. Do not identify protected sources, provide non-public government material, or disclose confidential client or employer information.
