It is an international scientific association, based originally in Europe but now open to all scholars from around the world, devoted to collaborative research on military and society.

ERGOMAS is a public, non-profit, politically and ideologically independent professional organization of scientists. Its purposes are pursued through the activity of Working Groups and the Biennial Conference.

The core disciplines of ERGOMAS are sociology and political science but, over time, it has become more and more multidisciplinary, and now has members drawn from many other disciplines.

The next ERGOMAS biennial conference will take place in early June 2013 at the Facultad de Sciencias Políticas y Sociología, Universidad National de Educación a Distancia in Madrid, Spain. In due course, information on the conference will be published here. Some preliminary information is available in the most recent ERGOMAS newsletter.

Information on the last ERGOMAS conference can be found here: XI Biennial Conference, Amsterdam 2011
