International Association of Empirical Aesthetics (IAEA)
The International Association of Empirical Aesthetics (IAEA) is offering a one-year-free-of-charge-membership for members of the Canadian Psychological Association. One of the founders of IAEA was Canadian psychologist Dan Berlyne and hence IAEA has some roots in the Canadian psychology community. IAEA is interested in expanding its membership and offering interested researchers an international forum for exchanging ideas and making research connections. The free one-year-membership includes the two issues of IAEA’s journal "Empirical Studies of the Arts" and covers the year 2012. In 2012, IAEA will host its biennial congress in Taipei (Taiwan).

With an estimated 50,000 researchers and 400,000 students represented in these member groups, the CCR is the largest organization in Canada whose primary concerns are the funding of research in all sectors and support for post-secondary education.
