Important Info about EPSA

The European Political Science Association (EPSA) was founded in 2009 by Ken Benoit, Ray Duch, and Thomas Plümper. The founders’ goal was to promote Europe as a global leader in political science by forming an association of European scholars that would advance the scientific study of politics. Over the past two decades EPSA prides itself in having attained the founders’ initial goals:  The association has played an important role in fostering the careers of thousands of European political scientists. EPSA’s annual conferences provides a unique venue for showcasing the leading-edge social science produced by Europe’s outstanding scholars. EPSA conferences are enthusiastic and collegial scientific events that have made an important contribution to the rapidly growing numbers of world-class European social scientists. As part of our commitment to nurturing European political science, the three founders created a journal, Political Science Research and Methods. Over a very short period, the journal, published by the Cambridge University Press, has become one of the top ranked journals in political science. Having a “European home” for a top ranked scientific publication contributes to the global recognition of Europe’s outstanding social science research community.
