Welcome to EASE

The 13th EASE Conference will be held in June 2016 in Strasbourg.

Registration is now open. Come and join us!

EASE has about 400 members who live in more than 50 countries, not only in Europe but also in other parts of the world. Members work in many disciplines and trades. The association offers the opportunity to stay abreast of trends in the rapidly-changing environment of scientific publishing. As an EASE member, you can sharpen your editing, writing and thinking skills, broaden your outlook through encounters with people of different backgrounds and experience, or deepen your understanding of significant issues and specific working tools. Finally, we have fun and enjoy learning from each other while upholding the highest standards.

EASE membership runs for a calendar year.  However, if  you join now (for 2016) you will be able to take advantage of member benefits straight away, including the November issue of the in-house journal European Science Editing, and be eligible for discounted registration for the Strasbourg Conference in 2016. Other benefits include networking opportunities, free advertising on the EASE website and discounts on software. 

Special rates are available for students and retired members and we also run a Sponsored Members Scheme.
