The Research Fellows form a constituency of individuals engaged in the kind of high-quality research the ERF aims to encourage, and they elect new Trustees every five years. Admission as a Research Fellow is based upon a highly selective procedure involving the review of the research record of each nominee by a committee, and requires the approval of the Board of Trustees. The most important criteria for admission is the production of top quality economic research, and a major contribution to the ERF's activities. Metin-Özcan and Sayan join Professors Celasun, Togan and Yeldan to increase the number of ERF Fellows at Bilkent to five.
