  • Affiliated Groups

    The ISCB Affiliates program is designed to forge links between ISCB and regional non-profit membership groups, centers, institutes and networks that involve researchers from various institutions and/or organizations within a defined geographic region involved in the advancement of bioinformatics. Such groups have regular meetings either in person or online, and an organizing body in the form of a board of directors or steering committee. If you are interested in affiliating your regional membership group, center, institute or network with ISCB, please review these guidelines (.pdf) and send your exploratory questions to Diane E. Kovats, ISCB Chief Executive Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).  For information about the Affilliates Committee click here.

ISCB Multi Year and Lifetime Membership Categories

ISCB multi year and lifetime memberships offers As an alternative to the single year membership ISCB has always offered, we are now also offering the option of a multiple-year membership for up to 5 years from the date of registration, or a lifetime membership that will never expire. Beginning in 2016 ISCB now offers a discount to members that purchase multi-year memberships. (2 years-5%; 3 years-10%, 4 years-15%; 5 years-20%)

The following restrictions apply to the multi-year and lifetime membership categories:

  • Multi-year and lifetime membership categories are only available at the Professional level, and are offered among the registration options after selecting Professional as the membership category.
  • All the membership benefits of the one-year membership category apply to the multi-year and lifetime membership categories.
  • The ISCB will invoice additional charges in cases where a member moves to a country in a higher dues category. The according country list is available on the ISCB portal site.
    • The additional membership fees will be calculated on a yearly pro rata base.
    • The ISCB will not refund fees for the reverse case where a member moves to a country in a lower dues category.
    • A change in the economy classification of a country by the World Bank in a subsequent year will not result in a change in dues for the duration of existing multi-year or lifetime memberships.
  • The multi-year and lifetime memberships are non-refundable in the event of a membership cancellation at any time after purchase.
  • ISCB will cover costs in cases where the ISCB adds benefits to the general membership package (provided with the one-year membership) and which generate additional internal costs to the ISCB (e.g. additional sponsored journal subscriptions).

Multiple Year Membership Dues A person may become a multi-year member by making a single payment equivalent to the current one-year membership dues multiplied by the number of years (maximum 5 years):
 

2 year membership

Twice the current Professional level dues rate and a 5% discount ($256.5 based on dues as of 2020)

3 year membership

Three times the current Professional level dues rate and a 10% discount ($364.5 based on dues as of 2020)

4 year membership

Four times the current Professional level dues rate and a 15% discount ($459 based on dues as of 2020)

5 year membership

Five times the current Professional level dues rate and a 20% discount ($540 based on dues as of 2020)


Lifetime Membership Dues
A person may become a lifetime member by making a single payment of dues determined by age at the start of the membership registration or renewal according to the following schedule:
 

A. Emeritus, Age 65 or above

Three times the current Professional level dues rate (up to US$405 based on 2024 dues)

B. Age 60 - 64

C. Age 55 - 59

Ten times the current Professional level dues rate (up to US$1,350 based on 2024 dues)

D. Age 50-54

Fifteen times the current Professional level dues rate (up to US$2,025 based on 2024 dues)

E. Age 45-49

Twenty times the current Professional level dues rate (up to US$2,700 based on 2024 dues)

F. Age 40-44
