Institutional memberships
Our institutional memberships are open to all organisations who are interested in purchasing a volume of memberships for their employees. An eligible institution is considered one physical organisational entity (e.g., university departments, private or governmental statutory bodies or organisations, externally funded research groups involved or with an interest in shared decision making). All interested institutions must apply and are subject to approval.
Each member that forms an institutional membership will need to be identified by the institution. Each of these members will be permitted to vote at the AGM.
