From 3,000 to 30,000 Members: The First 8 Months of ESR

European Society of Radiology (ESR)With 29,375 radiologists on board as per 31st of October, the European Society of Radiology (ESR) has increased its membership ten-fold since it was created eight months ago. With 2,564 members back in March 2007, the ESR has been rallying an impressive number of radiologists thanks to its principle of openness and accessibility to everyone, translated into a low membership cost.

A €10 membership of ESR offers reduced registration rates for the annual European Congress of Radiology (ECR), the second largest radiological meeting in the world with 17,000 participants. ESR membership also provides the free online and reduced-rate print version of the journal European Radiology. Its ISI impact factor of 2.554 makes it 22nd out of 85 journals and the second highest ranked truly general radiological journal. Other advantages include free access to databases, lectures, presentations and educational activities.

Most ESR members now come from Italy, followed by Spain, Germany, China, the United Kingdom, Austria, Greece, the United States of America, Poland and the Netherlands. A high proportion of members also come from India and Saudi Arabia.

Membership should continue to rise in 2008 thanks to the participation of European national societies, who will offer membership of ESR to all their members.
