Discover how this program can elevate your institution's profile on the global stage!

Understanding the New Tiered Structure

This new structure divides institutions into four groups (A to D) based on the country where your institution is located. Each group is then subdivided into three levels (1 to 3) of packages, offering a range of services and benefits tailored to meet your institution's specific needs and budget.

• Group A: Institutions located in high-income countries.
• Group B: Institutions located in upper-middle-income countries.
• Group C: Institutions located in lower-middle-income countries.
• Group D: Institutions located in low-income countries.

Within each group, you'll find three levels of membership packages:

• Level 1: A basic package tailored for institutions with limited resources or focused needs.
• Level 2: An intermediate package offering expanded benefits, ideal for institutions aiming to strengthen their engagement with the global political science community.
• Level 3: A premium package providing comprehensive services, perfect for institutions with extensive international collaborations and research activities.

Benefits of the New Tiered Structure

• Tailored Packages: Choose the membership package that best aligns with your institution's specific needs and budget.
• Flexible Options: Enjoy a wider range of options to customize your membership experience.
• Cost-Effective Solutions: Access affordable membership rates based on your institution's group and level.
• Exceptional Value: Each membership level offers benefits that far outweigh the cost, ensuring you maximize your investment. For instance, Group A - Level 3 provides a total benefit value exceeding US $10,900, while costing only US $1,800.
