The research coordinator for the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship at McGill University, Shane Singh, will assist the project director in ensuring the integration of research activities on an ongoing basis and will attend the meetings of the executive board, as well as the annual planning meetings.
There will be a coordinator for each of the five countries included in the study (William Cross for Canada, Martial Foucault for France, Thomas Gschwend for Germany, Ignacio Lago for Spain and Hanspeter Kriesi for Switzerland). These country coordinators will play a key role with respect to the planning of data collection for each of the elections to be studied in a given country.
