Proposed Benefits for EPS Members
The European Physical Society is developing a series of activities designed to increase its visibility, and to attract new Individual Members. The EPS is envisaging different levels of benefits – with some reserved for Individual Members, and others available to the whole community: in particular, members of Member Societies.
Among the benefits for Individual Members are:
- The right to be represented in council through Individual Member delegates;
- The right to become members of D/G boards;
- Reduced fees and travel grants for Europhysics Conferences;
- Access to a members-only area – currently called my eps – on the EPS website, where privileged information can be found, e.g. a directory of Individual Members, reports from the EPS Executive Committee, etc;
- The print edition of Europhysics News, the bi-monthly EPS magazine.
The Executive Committee will also be speaking with learned society publishers in order to provide online access to journals and publishing benefits for EPS Individual Members. Negotiations are presently taking place with EPL (Europhysics Letters) and EJP (European Journal of Physics).
Among the benefits available to the whole community1, are:
- Access to e-EPS;
- Notification by email when EPN is available online;
- Access to a members-only area, reserved for members of Member Societies, on the EPS web site – which contains general information, e.g. D/G reports, etc.
- Including, of course, Individual Members [↩]
