What happens with the yearly fees?
The European Society on Family Relations needs an institutional basis and therefore a solid financial minimum.
The yearly fees and contributions are necessary to:
- build up an attractive ESFR network for family researchers, for example by maintaining a website.
- cover organisational costs of the biannual conferences, including invited speakers, print costs, catering etc.
- establish ESFR publications on a regular basis, including monographs and a new ESFR journal.
- establish a long-term backbone to maintain our field family research as relevant both to science and policy making.
- allow each institutional member to register one free representative for ESFR conferences.
