EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The Executive Committee present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the note s to the accounts and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association , the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ( effective 1 January 2019). ”

Objectives and activities

The Charity's Objects are: to promote education and research in social anthropology by improving understanding of world societies and encouraging professional communication and cooperation between anthropologists, especially in Europe.

The Executive Committee have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

Membership

The Association has four categories of membership:

The Executive Committee has assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Achievements and performance

European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) publishes regular newsletters, providing information about activities and events. Newsletters may be accessed online at http:/www.easaonline.org/ newsletter.shtml. The 2020 Annual General Meeting of the association took place online as part of the 2020 EASA Conference.

A principal activity of EASA is to organise a major international conference devoted to Anthropology once every two years. EASA held its 30th anniversary conference online rather than in Lisbon as planned because of the global pandemic. This turned out to be its largest ever conference, with almost 2000 conference registrations and 1790 attendees. EASA 2020 consisted of 199 panels with 1200 papers over four days, from 21-24 July and included EASA's AGM.

EASA publishes a scholarly journal Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale. It is issued four times a year with occasional special issues in addition to these. The journal consists of original research articles and book reviews. Its home page may be visited at: http:/www.easaonline.org/journal.shtml. EASA also publishes a book series, which is produced and distributed on our behalf by Berghahn Books, a small independent publisher that has worked closely with the discipline for many years. The book series includes edited collections and monographs and its home page is http:/www.easaonline.org/bookseri.shtml

EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

In 2020, EASA members voted not to renew the contract with Wiley Publishers for the production and distribution of the journal. From the start of 2022, the journal will be published online in an Open Access format by Berghahn Publishers, under a sustainable library-funded open access model.

A further activity of EASA is to encourage the formation and activities of networks devoted to specific aspects of anthropological research, practice and theory. Information about EASA networks may be found at https:// easaonline.org/networks

EASA is a member of the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA) and a sister association of the International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF). It is also an active member of EASSH (European Association of the Social Sciences and Humanities), ISE (Initiative for Science in Europe) and SAR (Scholars at Risk). Members of the EASA Executive are involved in lobbying funding bodies and raising anthropology’s profile within scholarly research funding programmes, such as those sponsored by the European Union.

Financial review

EASA's income is generated primarily through membership subscriptions, which are collected annually, through conference fees, and to a lesser extent by grants and income from publications.

The administration of EASA is undertaken by a professional anthropological administrator: NomadIT. EASA itself employs no staff, and owns or rents no building. The trustees receive reimbursement only of travel and subsistence expenses at cost to attend meetings, which, until the Covid19 pandemic are usually held twice each year, with frequent online discussion between meetings. In 2020, EASA Trustees held their first meeting face to face in Paris (3 rd February 2020) and its second meetings online using Zoom, on July 2020. Everyday business is conducted online using Slack.

EASA was founded 30 years ago, and is young compared to its two largest counterparts, the American Anthropological Association, and the Royal Anthropological Institute. EASA has no buildings, and no assets other than the cash savings in its bank accounts, which double as a reserve. At a minimum, these are set at the cost of one major conference should it fail, and the cost of employing alternative administrative support should NomadIT for any reason no longer be available to administer the association.

Funds surplus to the everyday running of the charity are invested in savings accounts and fixed term deposits. Banks that hold EASA's funds have been selected on the basis of their ethical credentials. In 2020, the banks in which EASA held its cash were: The Co-operative Bank, Metro Bank, Triodos Bank and Charity Bank. No equities or investments are held other than the cash deposits.

Income from subscriptions and charitable activities of £276,153 has been recognised in the accounts. Expenditure of £234,603 relating to membership administration and charitable activities leaves a surplus of £41,550 to add to the reserves brought forward of £411,045.

Plans for future periods

EASA current priorities include enhancing its website and social media presence, and actively lobbying on behalf of the discipline, especially in support of those on precarious contracts and early career researchers. It is also committed to minimising its carbon footprint, improving its biennial conference, sustaining the quality of its publications, and supporting its member-led networks.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
