Joining ISSBD

ISSBD now has a new membership registration system. This new system will allow you to easily join and re-new membership. It will also allow for easier payment of fees with credit cards (from around the world), with only minimal information collected.

Join or renew your membership

ISSBD now has a new membership registration system.
Starting in 2023, all members are kindly requested to create an account on this new website.

The membership registration site is open. Please read the instructions below first.

 

Joining or renewing your membership only takes 3 steps:

1. Make an Account 

To access the new system, everyone must create a new account with a new password, including those who are already members (and have accounts in the old system).

Visit our website at members.issbd.org and click on the CREATE ACCOUNT button.

Follow the instructions to set up a new personal account with a new password.

If you were registered in the old system (SAGE), once you enter your email address, most fields will be prefilled.

 

2. Set up your profile

After creating your account, you can LOG IN and you will have access to your PROFILE form, the online membership registration form, and many more forms in the future.

All information can be updated always.

 

3. Activate your Membership

Lastly, from your new account, you can confirm your earlier payments for your membership or proceed with a new payment to join ISSBD, according to your situation.

Go to the MEMBER button on the menu.

If yes, we kindly ask you to confirm your payment using your new account. This quick process ensures accurate record-keeping and there are no new costs involved.

If this is your case, please go through the activation process for each year separately, which only requires a few more clicks to complete.

You can conveniently pay from your new account whenever you are ready. Please note that the new system accepts credit card payments only (not necessarily in your name). Upon successful processing, you should promptly receive an email confirmation, along with a receipt.

After a successful payment for your membership, you will receive immediate email confirmations and a receipt.

 

Once the three steps are completed, your ISSBD membership is activated.

 

If your government or banks in your country currently do not allow payments to foreign accounts please contact the Membership Secretary, Dr. Julie Bowker, at juliebowker5@gmail.com

Multiple years membership

The ISSBD has a good tradition of reducing membership costs for members that pay for more than one year at once. We respect and continue that tradition.

The membership fees for the years after the present year will be 50% lower.
However, these forms with reduced fees (e.g., for 2024 and 2025 during 2023) will be available only provided you are a member for the present year.
The forms will be updated after the last day of the year to shift this arrangement a year ahead.

This means that:
–    If you are a member for 2023 already, you can -until the end of this year- profit from a 50% reduction for membership for 2024.
–    If you are not yet a 2023 member, you cannot profit from a 50% reduction for 2024.
–   After January 31 2023 you can no longer profit from a 50% reduction for membership for 2024, so you have to pay the regular fee.

With a verified membership for the calendar year 2024 on the new membership website, you can claim a considerable reduction in the conference registration costs for the 27th Biennial Meeting.
