European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR)

The European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) is an independent scholarly association, established in 1970. Its 350 institutional members across around 50 countries represent leading universities, students and senior academics engaged in the research and teaching of political science worldwide.

The ECPR supports and encourages the training, research and cross national co-operation of political scientists in a number of ways: a programme of renowned conferences and events and a cutting-edge Methods School, all with funding opportunities for members; a prestigious publishing portfolio which includes book series and three leading journals; its own publishing imprint, ECPR Press; and a range of high profile prizes celebrating academic achievement throughout the discipline.
