Membership

Anyone who would like to contribute to the promotion of analytic philosophy is welcome as a member.

Members receive the semi-annual newsletter of the GAP, which keeps them informed of events and activities of the society. In addition, members of the GAP have the opportunity to subscribe to the GAP-Info-Mails. Subscribers to the list will receive all news via email that the GAP is asked to distribute.

GAP members sporadically receive e-mails that inform about the activities of the GAP and notable developments in the field of Analytical Philosophy. As a member, you can also subscribe to a weekly newsletter that provides information on current conferences, job advertisements and the like. As a GAP-member you can manage your GAP-Info-Mail subscription via our member portal or by sending us an This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Via the Fachinformationsdienst, GAP members have free access to several databases, hundreds of journals and thousands of e-books. More information here (in German).

Membership fees

Membership fees to the GAP are based on the member’s income. There are four categories:

• Professors or members with comparable income pay an annual fee of 60€.
• Employees (50% and above) in Germany, Austria and Switzerland pay an annual fee of 40€.
• Students and non-employees pay an annual fee of 12€.
• Supporting members pay an annual fee of 100€.

The payment of membership fees is mandatory through the SEPA direct debit procedure. Members who are unable to participate in the SEPA direct debit process are granted two options for payment:

1. By direct bank transfer, if only if the payment is made in EUR.
2. By PayPal, if only if it is not possible to make a direct bank transfer in EUR.

Foreign currencies incur high bank fees, and PayPal payments, as well as late payments, result in a significant amount of additional work. Therefore, members who cannot participate in the SEPA direct debit process are subject to an administration fee of 10 EUR. The administration fee is waived if the contribution payment (via direct bank transfer or PayPal) is received in January. (These payment modalities were decided at the 2009 and 2023 General Meetings).

Members whose membership fee cannot be withdrawn despite having issued a direct debit mandate shall pay an administration fee of EUR 10, unless the reason for this lies with the GAP.
