Membership Fee Policy Update (New policy approved by the EWORA Board on 16 April 2025)

Following the decision of the EWORA Board on 16 April 2025, the membership fee structure has been revised to introduce a standardized rate applicable to all countries.

This change replaces the previous practice of adjusting fees according to the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) of each country. This decision reflects EWORA’s ongoing commitment to promoting gender equality in higher education, fostering a cohesive and inclusive international community of academic leaders, and ensuring fairness and clarity in our membership approach. The adoption of a unified fee structure ensures transparency and equal participation across all members.

If any individual or institution faces a financial barrier to membership, we are happy to review the fee on a case by case basis and with complete confidentiality. We do not wish financial considerations to unduly impede membership. Please feel free to reach out for further information or to discuss specific concerns.   info@ewora.org
