The European Sociological Association

The European Sociological Association (ESA) is a professional organization that brings together sociologists—experts who study how societies function and change—across Europe. Its goal is to promote sociological research, facilitate collaboration among scholars, and advance understanding of social issues such as inequality, culture, and politics. The ESA organizes conferences, publishes journals, and supports academic work to deepen knowledge about social life. It helps academics share ideas, develop their careers, and influence policies that affect communities and societies throughout Europe.
