We are excited to announce that Emilia Korkea-Aho is joining the EJELS as an Executive Editor. Emilia is a Professor of European Law and Legislative Studies at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF). Her research spans law and democracy in the EU and national contexts, with a particular focus on EU institutional and constitutional law. Emilia has produced influential work on soft law, lobbying, the revolving‑door phenomenon, and the national governance of EU structural funds. We are very happy that she has decided to bring her expertise in interdisciplinary, socio‑legal methodology to the EJELS!

Emilia will be replacing Paulien de Winter, Associate Professor at Utrecht University. Paulien is one the founders of the EJELS and a core member of the team since the very start. Her contribution has been invaluable for making the Journal a reality and for this we are incredibly grateful!
