AER Membership allows your organisation to easily share reports, case studies and guidance documents that benefit the wider community and help improve best practice.
Who is it for?
AER membership is open to any organisation or group that produces evidence-based information on the management of biodiversity and the environment: eNGOs, consultancies, synthesis centres, funders and more. We permanently store your information in any language and make them publicly available on our ever-growing search platform.
With your information more accessible and discoverable to a wider audience, you will be in a stronger position to demonstrate the significance of your organisation on the global stage.
Key benefits:
- Save time and money – support your internal knowledge management systems and reduce the cost of creating a permanent, discoverable archive of your work
- Increase visibility of your work – demonstrate the value of the information you produce and improve best practice
- Raise your profile – showcase your work and advertise your events, funding opportunities or job openings to thousands of ecologists, consultants and policy makers connected with us through the website, social media channels and monthly newsletter
- Become a global leader – position yourself as a leader in open science and practice, joining organisations such as Defra, NatureScot and Synthesis Center for Conservation and Restoration
- Contribute to academic literature – publish for free or at a discounted price in Ecological Solutions and Evidence, our peer-reviewed open access journal

Support with membership
We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath continues to have a substantial impact on the community who use AER, but the extent of this varies enormously between organisations. We also recognise that effective communication of information is needed now more than ever. This is a time of high disruptio, but also an opportunity to initiate change by facilitating communication and access to information.
