Membership Fees

ESP membership is for a calendar year (January through December). Your membership is completed after payment of the membership fee (in case you sign up as free member this form is sufficient). In case you sign up as paying member, you will receive an invoice for the payment of your fee after registration. 
Please note that when you sign-up during the year a proportional membership-fee will be charged in the first year.

See our members page for an overview of all institutional members. Next year we would like to provide all individual members access to a member database to facilitate networking and partnership formation.

Annual membership fees 2010
Membership fees 2010
# Individual members pay 50 €/year *
* Reduced fee (50%) will apply to (institutional and individual) members from low-income countries and students. Employees from paying member organizations can also get a reduced individual membership fee.

Low income countries
For the distinction between high ad low income countries we use the World Bank classification of Counrty groups. We do not have any social or poltical views concerning this classification, but simply want to stimulate membership as much as posible.
High income countries pay the full fee and the low and middle income counties the reduced fee (see the WB country page for the details).
Soon we will provide a list of countries on this website.
