MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA
ASCOLA is a unique organization of academics from all over the world, focusing on competition issues. Membership is open to scholars specializing in competition law and policy. We encourage multidisciplinarity, and our members generally have a varied background. For us, independence is of the essence. We only accept scholars whose main occupation is academic. We expect members to adhere to the ASCOLA Ethics Code.
Junior membership can be awarded to PhD students or Post-Docs, before joining the academia as researchers. It is reassessed every two years. Junior members do not automatically qualify to become full members at the end of their studies. Rather, a focus on an academic career is required.
Ascola wants to promote membership of scholars from developing countries and younger academics. For these scholars, we have introduced reduced fees.
Ascola currently brings together about 600 members the world over, who engage in high level academic research of competition law issues.
FEES
To ensure independence, the association is funded by its members. As part of the membership policy, each member is asked to contribute a sum on a yearly basis. Special arrangements can be made for scholars coming from countries where that level of financing can be a difficulty. Normal member – 80 Euros, Junior member – 40 Euros.
