IAER Membership

IAER membership is open to anyone working in the field of education and/or research in any domain. Members of IAER widely vary in their professions such as postgraduate students, research scientist/engineers, faculties, professor emeritus and so forth, from around the globe.

IAER does not charge any annual fee for membership, pursuant to its objective to enable seamless exchange of information and ideas among the educators and/or researchers.

 
Recent Changes in Membership Application Process

Due to extremely high volume of membership applications, legitimate applicants are being affected. Therefore, from 1st January 2019, IAER is imposing a non-refundable 10 GBP processing fee per membership application. However, any future authors of IAER conferences or journals can claim this fee back as a reduction in the publication fee. Thus, application for membership for them shall still be free. This arrangement has been made so that we can ensure quality service to the legitimate applicants. This is to confirm that IAER has NO plan to impose annual membership fee.
