Institutional membership is open to European universities, research institutions and departments in the field of plant science, and since 2008 also to selected plant science institutions worldwide. Representatives of the institutional members actively participate in EPSO's science policy work at the European and national levels. EPSO representatives are key to forging EPSO's position on future European plant research policy and recommendations to important decision makers, for example in the development of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7). Only EPSO institutional members can organise and participate in EPSO workshops.
Personal membership is available to individuals interested in plant science, regardless of their nationality, profession, seniority or age. People working at EPSO institutional members can automatically become members free of charge. EPSO personal members have full access to information collected by EPSO and specifically tailored to plant scientists (such as EU and national funding opportunities, structural funds). They can also use the FP7 partner search tool, browse the database of plant scientists and the EPSO online portal; and read EPSO News, the organisation's bimonthly e-newsletter. Moreover, personal members can apply for an EPSO conference support grant.
