Join EPSO as an institutional member

Who can become an institutional/university member?

Institutional membership is available to European universities, research institutions and departments in the field of plant science, and since 2008 also to selected plant science institutions worldwide.

Representatives of the institutional members actively participate in EPSO's science policy work at the European and national levels. EPSO representatives are key to forging EPSO's position on future European plant research policy and recommendations to important decision makers, for example in the development of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7).

Only EPSO institutional members can organise and participate in EPSO workshops.

What are the benefits of an institutional membership?

EPSO’s main activities for institutional members are the science policy, the online portal, the biannual EPSO conference and the EPSO workshops.

People working at a member institute/university can register as a personal member to EPSO without paying the personal membership fee.

Who decides?

The general meeting has full and final discretion to decide whether to admit a new member. Admission is approved if an ordinary majority of members agrees.
