Apply for Full Membership of the EAJS (scholars based in Ukraine)

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has led to significant hardship across Ukrainian society. In order to support Jewish Studies scholars based at Ukrainian institutions of higher learning who have been affected by the hostilities that began on 24 February 2022, and where possible to help them to continue their teaching and research, the EAJS has decided to waive the membership fees for Full Members (including successful new applicants for Full Membership) who are currently based in Ukraine (or who were based in Ukraine until some point after 24 February 2022). For more information, please contact the EAJS administration.

The application form found below should be used by scholars based in Ukraine (this version of the form does not require a payment).

The membership fee waiver is until 31 December 2025.

Please make sure you have read our Privacy Policy to understand what information we require and how we use it.

When you click the Apply button at the bottom of the form, you will receive an email advising of your login details. This provides provisional confirmation of your membership.

Note that you are required to provide the names of two referees who should be scholars active in the field of Jewish Studies at universities or other higher education institutions, who are familiar with your work.

The EAJS membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December.

The EAJS membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December.
