On September 15, members of the International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise (IAPEE) came together once again at the International Festival of Youth. Experts, researchers, and public figures from different countries met to discuss political systems, elections and international observation.
For us, it is especially important that the Association continues to develop as a professional international platform where representatives of different political and expert traditions can exchange experience, discuss current developments and contribute to new approaches in political and electoral expertise.
The key event was a presentation of the International Association of Political and Electoral Expertise. Vito Grittani, Chair of IAPEE, diplomat,and founder of the International Diplomatic Observatory, spoke about the Association’s principles, activities and future plans.
Vito Grittani:
“Our goal is to create a professional platform where experts from different countries can exchange experience, discuss observation methodologies, and jointly develop new approaches. IAPEE is built on cooperation, respect for national specificities, and professional dialogue.”
🤝 The meeting concluded with a ceremony welcoming new members to IAPEE. Representatives of 15 countries joined the Association, bringing new professional and regional perspectives to its international community.
🌏 The ceremony was led by Areg Agasaryan, Head of our Center and Member of the IAPEE Governing Council.
Areg Agasaryan:
“IAPEE is developing into an international professional community capable of preparing a new generation of experts. We want membership in the Association to mean active participation in missions, research, expert discussions, and professional cooperation.”
For the Association, expanding its membership means bringing together specialists with different professional backgrounds and experience, strengthening international dialogue, and developing a network of experts ready to contribute to political and electoral expertise.
✨ IAPEE continues to grow — and so does the international community united by professional dialogue on elections and political processes. 🌐
