The European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) is an independent, scholarly
association, established in 1970. It supports and encourages the training, research
and cross-national co-operation of political scientists throughout Europe and beyond.
The ECPR currently has nearly 350 European institutional members and associate members
in over 40 countries, from as far afield as New Zealand and Japan. These members
together form a network of thousands of individual political scientists, international
relations and European studies specialists.
