Membership
EERA, the European Educational Research Association, is an association of educational research associations. Every national, regional or supra-regional corporation engaged in general educational research may become a member, as long as they are domiciled in Europe.
A general educational research association is defined as an association which addresses the broad field of educational research drawing on multiple forms of enquiry.
EERA benefits are restricted to these national associations and their members. Members of a national association which is a member of EERA can claim the lower fee for the annual conference, the ECER (European Conference on Educational Research). In addition, attending the ECER will provide them with free access to the European Educational Research Journal, EERA's quarterly scientific journal, for the following year.
Please note that members of the Emerging Researchers' Group do not qualify as members of EERA. Like all other participants, researchers who sign up to the Emerging Researchers' Group will only receive a members' fee reduction if they belong to one of EERA's national member associations.
Membership Fees
The annual membership fee for each national association is calculated according to the size of the national association (<100 members, 100 to 300 or >300 members) and the GDP of the country.
Invoices with payment details are sent in January to the treasurer of the member associations.
Payment is to be made by bank transfer in Euros.
| Low GDP | High GDP | |
|---|---|---|
| Small Association (< 100) | 50 Euro | 200 Euro |
| Medium Association (100-300) | 100 Euro | 400 Euro |
| Large Association (>300) | 200 Euro | 800 Euro |
Candidate Members
For countries where no general educational research association has been established so far, other legal entities, with a reference to general educational research e.g. university with a pedagogical department, may apply for candidate membership.
As soon as a national, regional or supra-regional corporation for general educational research of this country has joined the association, the membership of the candidate member from the country concerned shall end.
Candidate members shall support the set up of an general educational research association within their country and be exempted from the obligation to pay fees for a period of up to 4 years; relevant details shall be decided upon by the Council.
