Home > Membership Home

The European Consortium for Political Research has approximately 350 European and associate members in over 40 countries, mostly European but also 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.

Who can become a member?
Any university, college, or department of any scholarly institution in Europe engaged in teaching and research in political science may apply for full membership of the Consortium.

Non European institutions of similar status are eligible to become associate members.

Who is membership for?
THE INSTITUTION PAYS BUT THE INDIVIDUAL GAINS

Membership of the ECPR is institutional rather than individual. This means that any individual (of post graduate status and above) from any department in a member institution may participate in ECPR activities.

What do we get for our money?
