Becoming a Member

SAUTE membership is open to persons who teach or are engaged in scholarly activities in the field of English Studies or related fields and who have, or have had, a professional link to a Swiss institution of higher education in the past or present. 

SAUTE membership automatically includes ESSU  (European Society for the Study of English) membership and provides access to membership rates for SAUTE and ESSU conferences. Further benefits of SAUTE membership include access to the SAUTE mailing list, to SAUTE funding opportunities, as well as ESSU funding and awards.

New members are voted into SAUTE once per year, at the annual general meeting, which usually takes place in May/June. In order to apply for membership, please send a short bionote and a CV (2 pages max.) to the president of SAUTE at least 10 days before the AGM (for 2025: before 27 May). 

New members will be contacted by the treasurer regarding the payment of membership fees (60 Fr. per year).
