ESRA and the acvitivies it organises is entirely dependent on its members. If you have an interest in improving the quality of survey research and the uses to which it is put, we encourage you to join.
Membership is open to individuals with an interest in survey research from academic, government, voluntary and commercial sectors and from any disciplinary background.
By becoming a member of ESRA you will be kept informed about ESRA's activities and other survey-related news via our email discussion list ESRAnet. You will also receive a discount on registration for the biennial conference and support the publication of the Association's journal - Survey Research Methods.
It is now possible to pay with your credit or debit card, using the secure servers of PayPal.
Some people will see a login page after clicking the Pay Now button. It is not necessary to create an account and/or to log in; just click 'Use your credit card or bank account (where available)’ in the bottom centre of the page to go directly to the credit card payment form. You do not need to join PayPal to complete this procedure.

Donations
The ESRA operates almost entirely on voluntary work. However, not all our activities can be organised for free. The layout of the journal Survey Research Methods, which is freely available to anybody at surveymethods.org for example, is very time-consuming and costly. We therefore welcome any contribution you care to make. If you would like to donate to ESRA, please click the "Donate" button.
