Individual Membership Benefits

The principal reasons for joining the European Mathematical Society may be altruistic:

  • to encourage European mathematicians to cooperate;
  • to support European mathematicians working under difficult circumstances;
  • to support efforts to get backing for mathematics from the European Union.

But there are benefits to individual members as well:

  • Free access to zbMATH (To obtain login and password please contact Olaf Teschke teschke@zblmath.fiz-karlsruhe.de.)
  • EMS Newsletter, published 4 times a year for no extra charge;
  • Free access to the online Journal of the European Mathematical Society. Available in the Member Database areaInstructions;
  • reduced registration fees for the European Congresses;
  • reduced registration fee for some EMS co-sponsored meetings;
  • 20 % discount on books published by the European Mathematical Society ordered via orders@ems-ph.org*;
  • discount on subscriptions to journals published by the EMS Publishing House. Please inquire at subscriptions@ems-ph.org*;
  • reciprocity memberships available at the American, Australian, and Canadian Mathematical Societies.

* These discounts extend to members of national societies that are members of the EMS or with whom the EMS has a reciprocity agreement.
