NoPSA Board

NoPSA

Nordic Political Science Association

NoPSA Board

NoPSA has a board of two members from each political science association of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The board elects a chairperson from amongst its members. The board also appoints a secretary. The chairperson is elected for a period of three years and may not be re-elected for the following three-year period. The election takes place at the board meeting held in connection with the NoPSA Congress. The secretary is elected for the same three-year period as the chairperson. Due to the extraordinary CoVID-19 situation, that postponed the XIX Congress, the board with the support of the five nordic PSAs changed the statutes to allow for extending the 2017-2020 term with one year for the chair and secretary until the congress could be held.


At the XX Congress in July 2024, Hanna-Mari Kivistö, University of Jyväskylä was elected as president.
