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.

The three founders established a privately held, Irish-registered company, EPS Academic Ltd, as the vehicle for launching this new association and for creating PSRM. As the EPSA constitution indicates, EPSA is registered to EPS Academic Ltd.

Membership in EPSA does not equate with membership in EPS Academic, Ltd. Members of EPSA and registered conference participants should obtain their own tax advice on membership of EPSA, reclaiming conference expenses, etc. This information may be of relevance because EPS Academic, Ltd is a for-profit organization and not a registered charity.  Members or interested parties who would like further information are encouraged to e-mail EPSA at info@epsanet.org.
