The European Political Science Association is a professional association of individual political scientists. We welcome anyone interested in the study of politics and political science to become a member. EPSA membership is discounted for students. Founded in 2010, EPSA's aims are the following:

• To represent and promote political science in Europe.
• To foster development in postgraduate training of political scientists in Europe.
• To promote undergraduate teaching of political scientists in Europe.
• To facilitate networking by political scientists worldwide.
• To host an annual general conference of political scientists. In June 2011, EPSA held its first annual general conference in Dublin, at the Guinness Storehouse Conference Centre, with nearly 400 delegates. The second annual general conference took place Berlin at the New Malthouse and the Environmental Forum in the Church of Resurrection, from 21-23 June, 2012, with over 500 delegates. The third annual conference will take place in Barcelona from June 20-22, 2013.
• To publish a general journal of political science that will have a profile, impact, and structure on a par with top general political science journals in the United States. The first edition of the EPSA journal, Political Science Research and Methods, will appear Summer 2013.
