Message from the DiscourseNet Presidency

Dear members, users and friends of DiscourseNet,

The term of office of the current DiscourseNet Steering Group is coming to an end.

On behalf of Michael Kranert (Treasurer), Aurora Fragonara (Secretary), and myself, I would like to thank you for your support over the past five years and, above all, for your continued engagement with DiscourseNet. I would also like to express my personal thanks to the outgoing the Board members for their constant work and commitment to the association.

I am now pleased to invite you to our General Assembly, which will take place on Monday, 19 October 2026, at 12:00 CEST.

You can find the formal invitation from Aurora and the agenda here: https://discourseanalysis.net/en/discoursenet-general-assembly-0?language=en

All members, users and friends of DiscourseNet are warmly invited to join the assembly, get to know each other, and discuss the future of DiscourseNet.

Please note, however, that only paying members of the association have voting rights in the General Assembly. If you would like to become a member of DiscourseNet, you can join here: https://discourseanalysis.net/DN

One of the main points on the agenda will be the election of a new Steering Group.

At present, we have one candidate team: https://discourseanalysis.net/en/dn-elections-2026-candidate-team-1

The election procedure is explained by our Election Officer, Felicitas Macgilchrist, here: https://discourseanalysis.net/en/discoursenet-elections-voting-commences-19-october-2026

I hope to see many of you at the General Assembly and to have a fruitful discussion about the future of DiscourseNet.

Best wishes,

Benno Herzog
President of DiscourseNet
