Dear friends of ECCR, The European Consortium for Communications Research (ECCR) has, once again, completed a successful year. We achieved a lot during the past year: we (co-)organised a number of conferences and expert meetings for both senior and junior scholars, we had our first ever General Assembly in Moscow in October, we negotiated more journal discounts for our members, coordinated the submission of research projects, are about to launch an ECCR Book Series, our ECCR online list is thriving ... and we have more exciting developments coming soon to our website at http://www.eccr.info. We herewith invite you to join our consortium. The fees are: individual members 50 Euro (35E for soft-currency countries and junior scholars), 250 Euro for institutional members (170E for soft-currency countries, and 100 Euro for associate institutional members. A reminder of the benefits of ECCR membership: - Discount subscriptions to 35 professional journals - Member-only information on EU Research Calls - Assistance in coordination and lobbying of EU research projects - Seminars and conferences at special member rates - Opportunities to network with colleagues - ECCR Books at a members-only discount - Website which contains the latest information and allows on-line registration for conferences and membership renewals In addition, every member will receive the first publication in our ECCR Book Series as a membership benefit: "The European Information Society: A reality Check" (will be published in the Spring of 2003).
