Founded in 1970, ECPR is the leading European academic association with a mission to advance political science. We bring scholars together across our global network to develop research and grow the discipline. Our members are universities, and the communities within them, engaged in the research and teaching of social sciences. Through our events, publications and research groups, we foster scholarly collaboration across borders. We support academics at every stage of their career, providing training, research opportunities and professional development. ECPR helps interpret the world’s complex and changing political landscape for the benefit of all.
