Membership · Individual
Associate Member
For researchers, scholars and other professionals who make substantial contributions to the research field. Associate Members hold the full rights and privileges of membership, including the right to vote and hold office.
An IARSA Associate Member is a professional member of the association. That is what separates this grade from Affiliate Membership, which links an external organisation, partner or individual to IARSA through a loose cooperative agreement.
Associate Membership is open to individuals interested in research who subscribe to the aims of the association. Associate Members are entitled to all the rights and privileges of IARSA, and gain voting privileges after five consecutive years in the grade.
