Membership
We invite you to become a member of the IUAES or to renew your membership. The IUAES welcomes as members any and all anthropologists/ethnologists a nd others from cognate disciplines, wherever in the world they are based and with whichever branch of the discipline they might be interested. Students of anthropology/ethnology are also very welcome to become members. The main goal of the IUAES is to facilitate wide-ranging global exchanges between anthropologists/ethnologists in interests of the discipline’s development.
IUAES Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December. The annual subscription is based on a member’s self-declared annual income as of 1 January each year.

Since 2018, membership is included in the Congress or Inter-Congress registration fees. Therefore if you are joining in order to attend the conference, you do NOT need to sign up for membership here.
If you are not attending a Congress or Inter-Congress this year, or if you wish to pay your renewal or new IUAES membership fee separately from payment of a Congress or Inter-Congress registration fee, please complete the form via the button below.

Definitions of above terms for associational categories:
Large = an association with more than 500 members
Small = an association with less than 500 members
Strong = individual annual member fees greater than $50 pa or access to other funding sources (typically associations in higher income countries) Not so strong = individual annual member fees of less than $50 pa and no access to other funding (typically associations in lower income countries) Very limited circumstances = associations with very low overall income (<$500 pa) from membership fees or any other source (evidence is required)
Member = any employed member who was a paid-up member for the purpose of the preceding financial report of the association, irrespective of their income. Where fees for employed members are graded along an income-based scale or otherwise distributed across tiers, the average fee per employed member needs to be calculated. Student, retired or other non-employed members’ fees are exempt and need not be included.
Cap = set (rather than calculated) maximum amounts, as stated above.
Maximum = calculated by multiplying number of members and annual member fee.
