Membership is free, and built for scientific collaboration.
CISBM does not operate a commercial membership model of any kind. There are no dues, tiers, or paid upgrades; participation is judged on scientific interest and background, nothing else.
No dues. No tiers. No commercial model.
Membership exists solely to support genuine scientific collaboration. What we ask in return is not payment, but a demonstrated interest in the research itself, whether that means attending a seminar or co-authoring an analysis.
Because CISBM produces real scientific work (seminars, research meetings, manuscripts, and computational analyses), membership is structured around what a researcher intends to do here, not around institutional rank or the ability to pay for access.
Two categories, one standard.
Both categories are open to any researcher with genuine scientific interest. The distinction is one of involvement, not status.
