Membership questions

Any individual interested in the internationalisation of higher education and the aims of the EAIE may apply for membership. Group membership is available until the end of March, while individual membership is open year-round.

Becoming an EAIE member grants you access to a vibrant, supportive community of global higher education professionals, along with a host of exclusive benefits, including:

• Connecting with a global network of peers through the Member Directory and Community Platform.

• Access to member-exclusive resources, publications and video content.

• Significant discounts on EAIE activities and events.

• Opportunities to participate in the popular Mentorship programme.

• Specical discounts on book series and other partner events.

Membership costs €260 per year. Applicants from 'low-income economies' or 'lower-middle economies' as categorised by the World Bank qualify for a reduced fee of €130. This discount will be calculated and applied automatically. Group membership packages and reduced membershp for young professionals are offered at the start of each year. You can view all the membership options and pricing here. 

EAIE memberships follow a calendar year cycle, running from 01 January to 31 December annually. Regardless of when you join during the year, all memberships conclude on 31 December of that membership year. The pricing remains fixed at €260 throughout the year, regardless of when you take out membership. Securing your membership early allows you to make the most of the year-long benefits offered by the EAIE.

If you were a member in 2024, you can automatically renew your membership via My Membership in My EAIE. If you have changed organisations in the past year, please ensure your contact information is correct before starting the renewal process. If you would like to upgrade to a group membership, please complete the group membership request form. 

Yes, you can end your membership anytime by contacting the EAIE Office. However, no membership fee refunds are possible, and outstanding invoices must be settled.

EAIE memberships are personal and belong to an individual. If you change roles or move to a different organisation, your EAIE membership remains with you. Simply update your details within your EAIE account to reflect the changes, ensuring uninterrupted access to your membership benefits.

Creating an account on our website provides access to personalised content, tailored events, and news relevant to your interests. It ensures you receive updates about our activities and join our mailing list. However, having an EAIE account doesn’t automatically grant EAIE membership privileges. To access the full scope of membership benefits—such as access to exclusive resources, events, discounts and more—you'll need to specifically purchase an EAIE membership for the year.

The EAIE does not operate as an accreditation, recognition, or validation body for organisations with commercial or educational interests in the higher education systems of Europe or beyond. No claims may be made by other organisations which imply that the EAIE has accredited, recognised, validated or in any other way reviewed their services.

No, the EAIE doesn't offer funding or award scholarships. For these types of opportunities, please refer to Study in Europe or Scholarship portal that provides a comprehensive guide to postgraduate and professional funding worldwide.

If you are a current member, visit My EAIE to access the member directory, messaging services and more member-only resources. Please ensure you are logged in with your EAIE account to access this exclusive member area.

The EAIE Community Platform, home to the Communities of Practice, is available to EAIE members and this year, as a special offer, to participants of the Toulouse conference. You can access the Community Platform here or through My EAIE. Please make sure you’re logged into your EAIE account to enter this area.

The Community Platform is a collaborative, secure space where EAIE members can share ideas, knowledge, and resources, providing support and inspiration to the global EAIE network throughout the year.

Group membership enables institutions or organisations to purchase packages of 10, 15, 20, or 35 EAIE memberships at reduced rates and allocate them to individuals within their institution.

Please note that institutional membership is not possible. A group membership pack comprises multiple individual memberships at a reduced price. 

Group membership is available for purchase until the end of March each year.

Group membership pricing for 2025 is as follows. Group membership is available to purchase until the end of March each year. 

 

 

No, it's only possible to purchase predefined membership packages of 10, 15, 20 and 35.

The institution coordinator is a representative from your organisation who is responsible for requesting a group package, managing billing, payments, and assigning memberships within their institution.

Group membership for 2025 was available to purchase until the end of March.

The general process is that after you have requested a group membership pack, you’ll receive detailed instructions on completing payment for your membership package. We strive to process group membership invoices within five working days. Once the membership pack is requested, the institution coordinator can start assigning memberships to their staff and team via the ‘My membership’ area of the EAIE website. Membership will become active once the invoice has been processed. You don’t need to allocate all memberships right away—the coordinator can assign memberships until the end of March. After this, please get in touch with the EAIE Office to assign any remaining memberships. Please note that memberships already assigned cannot be transferred.

 

The institution coordinator for your organisation can easily renew the group membership package in the My Membership area of My EAIE until the end of March each year. When renewing, the coordinator can also switch the size of the group package. Only the coordinator has access to make these changes. If your institution coordinator is no longer with your institution and you wish to renew, please contact the EAIE Office to assign a new coordinator.

Once a group membership is requested, the coordinator can begin assigning individual memberships to team members via the My Membership page. Please note that team members must already have an EAIE account to be assigned a membership. Individuals can create an EAIE account here.

If you would like to assign a membership to a team member who held an individual membership the previous year, you can do so after 01 January, when their current membership has ended. Alternatively, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to assist with the assignment of memberships to these staff. Likewise, please contact us if you need to assign a membership to the coordinator.

Non-payment of a group membership invoice will mean that all those that have been assigned an individual membership from your package will have their membership privileges revoked until payment has been made. 

No, once a group membership has been requested and paid it is non-refundable. Once memberships have been assigned to an individual, the membership cannot be transferred for the year.  

To replace the current coordinator, the existing coordinator should contact the EAIE Office with the contact details of the new coordinator. If this is not possible (eg due to illness or dismissal), a senior staff member can assign a new coordinator by contacting the EAIE Office.

Verify with your institution coordinator that they have assigned you a membership. If confirmed and you still cannot access EAIE member services, please contact the EAIE Office.

Group membership can only be assigned to non-members. If an individual has already obtained and paid for EAIE membership in the current year, they cannot be assigned group membership until the following membership year.

We are delighted to introduce a young professional membership for those under 30 years old who are new to the EAIE community. This membership offers a reduced fee of €130 (a 50% saving on the standard fee) and is available for two consecutive years upon qualification. Young professionals will gain access to networking events and other activities explicitly tailored to welcoming newcomers to the EAIE and the sector. Young professional membership is available until the end of February each year.

 

This reduced-rate membership is designed for professionals under the age of 30 who have not previously been EAIE members. If you are under 30 and have been an EAIE member before, you can still participate in our activities for young professionals, although you won't be eligible for the reduced fee membership. 

We offer young professional membership for a limited time to ensure that newcomers can fully experience the benefits of EAIE membership, including participation in activities like our Mentorship Programme, which begins in March each year. By joining early in the year, young professionals can enjoy a full year of benefits that EAIE membership has to offer. 

While you may not qualify for the reduced fee membership, you're still more than welcome to join the events and activities tailored for young professionals. We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities to connect and grow within the EAIE community.

Once you qualify for a Young Professional membership, you will automatically receive the discounted rate for a second consecutive year. You can renew your membership at this rate through the ‘My Membership’ area in My EAIE once renewals for the next year become available. There is no need to submit a new request.
