Monica Rosen passed away suddenly on 29 August whilst attending the ECER 2024 conference. She was a Professor at the University of Gothenburg and had been the Link Convenor of Network 9 since 2020. She had further served as co-convenor before that (2011-2020). Her contribution to EERA and the network was considerable. She served at the conferences as chair, discussant, and reviewer for nearly two decades, and collaborated with colleagues in the network. A prolific scholar, many will remember her sharp intellect and wit, probing questions, warm professional and personal interest in colleagues, and her passion for emerging scholars’ development.
