Membership

ESPRit was formally registered as a research society with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in 2018. The first annual general meeting decided to put in place a paid membership structure to support our activities as a community of scholars, including an annual conference, postgraduate workshops and bursaries, and the publication of our peer-reviewed online Journal of European Periodical Studies (JEPS). Paid-up members are granted a vote at the annual general meetings and discounts at future events.

Membership fees are as follows:
