Cost and value

We understand that budgets are tight and you need to make sure you are getting value for money from your membership. Here’s a few tips that might help you make the case to your boss or even yourself if you are a freelancer:

  • Our conferences are priced so that it is cheaper to join as a member to gain the conference membership rate, than register as a non-member. So just one conference already justifies membership.
  • If you work in a LMIC country, there are additional discounts, 35% off the full price for those in UMICs and 50% off for those in LICs.
  • Students, early career researchers and those over 65 also enjoy 50% discount off the full price.
  • Members of our sister societies (CIEP, ISMTE, MET, NEaT and SENSE), enjoy 20% discount off the full price of membership and can register for our conferences at the EASE member rate.

Sometimes it is easier to access money for training than it is for professional memberships, if that is the case you can justify your membership fee, by knowing you will be able to attend a series of CPD webinars and workshops free as part of your membership and gain 50% discount on training courses and conference bookings. The combined cost of these to non-members stacks up, so you are already winning. The more you engage the better value you get.

Do you have CPD targets and thought leadership as a key performance indicator in your role? If so, volunteering for your professional association is a great way to boost your career prospects, enhance your visibility and give back to the community. All the more reason to invest in your professional development through EASE membership.
