Join the EUSPR

Ethical principles as applicable to EUSPR and its activities.

The term of EUSPR membership runs from January 1st to December 31st of each calendar year. Therefore, EUSPR membership is granted for the calendar year in which the fees are paid, additional payments will grant membership for subsequent years. If you wish your membership payment to apply to another calendar year please let us know when the payment is made (e.g. payment made in the 2025 calendar year although the member prefers to be granted membership for the 2026 calendar year).

A reminder to renew membership will be sent to all members at the beginning of each calendar year. 

NEW! From 2026 onward, the membership fee levels applied are adjusted using the World Bank Group Income Classification as a reference. Membership benefits are identical across all fee levels. Membership benefits are the same across all fee levels. Please note that, based on the updated World Bank Country Income Classification, several countries have changed membership fee levels, with Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia moving from Level C to Level A, and Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Lithuania moving from Level B to Level A.
