ERIM Associate Member

The ERIM Associate Membership is meant as a possibility for recent PhD's, who do not satisfy the criteria for regular ERIM Membership yet, to have access to ERIM benefits and facilities.

Who

Faculty of EUR: RSM Erasmus University (RSM) / Erasmus School of Economics (ESE) with an intended ERIM programme participation of at least two years

Criteria

  • PhD degree acquired less than five years ago
  • At least one publication per year since the PhD degree was acquired in:
    • scientific journals from the ERIM Journals List (EJL),
    • scientific "EJL-equivalent" journals, and/or
    • books or chapter(s) of books of a recognized academic reputation.
  • At least one publication is in an EJL journal rated P or P*, and is achieved in the first two years of Associate Membership
  • Final (unconditional) acceptance of papers is sufficient; actual publication is not required. Proof of acceptance should be provided as part of the application for Associate Membership. 5
  • A research proposal containing a detailed work- and publication plan, which aims at satisfying the criteria for regular ERIM Membership at the end of the Associate Membership period.

There is a "grace period" of two years for recent PhD's. They can become ERIM Associate Member (starting from the PhD defense), even if they do not meet the publication/acceptance criteria above. After these two years, their ERIM Associate Membership will only be continued if they do meet the requirements specified above (i.e., after two years at least two relevant publications accepted of which at least one in a journal of the Primary Set of ERIM Journals).

Tasks

Carrying out and disseminating high quality research

Benefits

These are identical to the benefits of an ERIM Member.

Duration

Maximum of 5 years

Application and Evaluation Procedure

  • The application for a new ERIM Associate Membership (including the research proposal, and proof of acceptance of papers if applicable) should be submitted to the Scientific Director of ERIM through one of the ERIM Fellows of the ERIM Research Programme where the Associate Member will do his/her research.
  • The Scientific Director decides on the Associate Membership. If the Associate Member is accepted, this will be communicated to the Fellow who submitted the application in an official letter, with a copy to the Dean of the School, the Department Chair and to the new ERIM Associate Member.
  • The Associate Membership will be converted into a regular ERIM Membership if the number of publications is at least five, with at most three publications in category (2), and at most two publications in category (3) (in line with the criteria for regular Membership). The Associate Member sends in a request for regular membership through one of the ERIM Fellows of his/her ERIM Research Program.
  • An ERIM Associate Member reports his/her output to ERIM (typically by means of registering his/her output in the MyERIM Publication system). An ERIM Associate Member only retains this status if he/she is still meeting the ERIM Associate Membership criteria. This will be checked annually.

Also when a recent PhD is considered for full ERIM membership, definite acceptance of a paper is sufficient. In all other cases of ERIM requirements the condition is actual publication.
