ESLR Collective

Who we are
The Early Career Social Learning Researchers (ESLR) are a small no-profit society run by early-career researchers for other early-career researchers. We are committed to promote a broad, and interdisciplinary perspective on cultural evolution and social learning research, aiming to create a platform specifically for early-career researchers across diverse disciplines.

Membership fees
We try to keep the running costs of our society as low as possible. However, for some things (see below) even a non-for profit has to pay. With your membership fee we cover these basic costs and give our society a little financial independence. Our Society has a treasurer who keeps both eyes on the responsible use of your contribution. Once a year, at the AGM, the treasurer reports on the Society’s financial status, the budget, and the spendings. This is your way to check on us. Got more questions? Just get in contact with us.
The membership is valid for all of the current calendar year.

Society and workshops
Membership fees are in part used for the running costs of the society. We also use it to fund upcoming events, such as our annual workshops. While we are also applying for funding, membership fees give us more freedom in planning and conducting those events.

Website and journal
Your membership fee is also used for hosting our society website. Additionally, to produce Cultured Scene, we use professional software that has to be paid annually.
