Our groups and networks cover a broad range of thematic areas, and play a key role in delivering the mission of the organisation to its membership and wider community. They provide a basis for the nurturing and development of all sub-fields of political science.

Standing Groups and Research Networks organise and take part in a wide range of activities, from formal participation in the academic programmes of our Joint Sessions and General Conference, to a range of prizes and specific events. This helps them to develop their field of research and and grow their offering to the scholarly community, while also allowing ECPR to reach beyond our traditional boundaries.

All groups and networks are free to join, and membership is open to anyone with a My ECPR account. This runs alongside our ECPR membership year 1 October – 30 September, and groups must be re-joined on a biennial basis. Have you checked on the status of your memberships yet?
