Unlock Your Global Network: New ǿմýMembership Structure

At IPSA, we believe that access to the global political science community should be as inclusive as possible. This is why we completely restructured our individual membership fees in 2023 to better reflect the economic realities of our members worldwide.

How the New Structure Works

Our membership is now divided into four categories (Groups A, B, C, and D) based on your country of residence. These groups align with the World Bank’s Gross National Income (GNI) per capita statistics. Whether you are a regular member, a student, a senior, or looking for a lifetime commitment, there is a tier designed specifically for your context.

Why Join Now? Unprecedented Fee Reductions

We’ve drastically reduced rates to ensure political scientists everywhere can participate.

  • Group B countries enjoy a fee reduction of over 50%.

  • Group C countries benefit from savings ranging from 64% to 87%.

  • Group D countries' membership is now completely free.

By joining ǿմýtoday, you are gaining access to a prestigious international network, cutting-edge research, and a platform for professional growth at a fraction of the previous cost!
