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 2023 calendar year although the member prefers to be granted membership for the 2024 calendar year).

While registration for the annual EUSPR Conference is open, there will be the option to purchase membership with your conference registration, in one payment which provides membership until the end of the following year (two years membership for the price of one). Details for new members and for members renewing their membership.

A reminder to renew membership will be sent to all members at the beginning of each calendar year. Membership fees have been determined in correspondence with a poll among potential members and they are based upon the country in which a member is employed. The fee to be paid is determined by the average academic salary in each country, adjusted for the cost of living. Accordingly, we have three membership fee levels. Membership benefits are the same across all fee levels.

• Level A fees are currently €100 per year. Countries include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA.
• Level B fees are currently €55 per year. Countries include: Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, and Turkey.
• Level C fees are currently €35 per year. Countries include: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. This category also includes all other countries in non-European territories that have not been mentioned above.
• Students from any country attending a registered institution and studying for a degree may be eligible to pay the lowest fee (Level C). Please note: Student members are not eligible to stand for election to the EUSPR Board although we have representation from our Early Career researcher group.

If you are interested in a two or a three-year membership commitment, you can enjoy a discount. You can either pay for it yearly (you will need to renew your membership next year) or you can make an upfront payment (you will not need to renew your membership until the one your paid for expires).

• Commitment for 2 years (per year): -10% 
  • Level A: €90 (180€ total payment)
  • Level B: €49,5 (99€ total payment)
  • Level C and students: €31,5 (63€ total payment)
• Commitment for 3 years (per year): -15%
  • Level A: €85 (255€ total payment)
  • Level B: €47 (141€ total payment)
