At the 10th annual Policy Association for an Open Society (PASOS) Assembly, Andrew Cartwright, co-director of the Center for Policy Studies, was re-elected as member of the Board for another two years, and chairman for 2015. PASOS is a regional platform of independent policy centers from Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Through joint projects, capacity building and peer-to-peer learning, PASOS supports high-quality policy analysis that bridges EU-based policymaking communities and the countries of South-East Europe, Turkey, the EU's eastern neighbourhood, and Central Asia. PASOS has a forward-looking Euro-Atlantic perspective with a strong focus on democracy, human rights, and economic development, and actively supports efforts to promote freer societies governed by the rule of law.

Cartwright has recently been appointed as co-director of the Center for Policy Studies. He will work alongside the existing director Violetta Zentai to expand the Center’s involvement in comparative and interdisciplinary policy research, strengthening teaching connections across departments as well as continuing to provide practical research opportunities for PhD students.
