European Consortium for Political Research

The European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) is a prestigious independent scholarly association that supports and encourages the training, research and cross-national cooperation of many thousands of academics and graduate students specialising in political science and all its sub-disciplines. ECPR membership is institutional rather than individual and, at its inception in 1970, comprised eight members (Bergen, Gothenburg, Essex, Leiden, Mannheim, Nuffield College (Oxford), Strathclyde and Paris (FNSP)). Membership has now grown to encompass more than 350 institutions throughout Europe, with associate members spread across the world.

ECPR activities include
  • Organising workshops, roundtables, conferences and summer schools
  • Publishing journals, books, articles and newsletters
  • Providing a comprehensive European information source for political scientists through its website, electronic bulletin and online searchable databases
  • Promoting teaching and training and the discipline in general through the professional journal European Political Science (EPS) and summer schools.
  • Offering a range of funding schemes to help progress individual careers and to support the wider development of the discipline.

ECPR Press

ECPR Press publishes original research across all fields of political science, international relations and political thought, without restriction in approach or regional focus. It is also open to interdisciplinary work with a predominant political dimension.

Standing Groups and Research Networks

ECPR Standing Groups encourage collaboration between scholars specialising in the same area of research. Their informal structure allows closer exchange of ideas.

Standing groups are open to individuals in ECPR member institutions as well as those from non-ECPR institutions.

gollark: On the one hand fusion is seemingly progressing. On the other hand, they thought that a lot before.
gollark: Solar needs batteries which need replacing a lot.
gollark: If nuclear power wasn't so vilified you could probably run desalination straight off nuclear heating and make it very efficient.
gollark: I wonder if you could create a financial instrument to allow you to short everyone else's preparations.
