International Association for
Traslationand Intercultural Studies
If you are interested in
becoming a member of the International Association for Translation and
Intercultural Studies (IATIS), this page will provide you with information
on its membership policy and the rationale for the IATIS differential membership
fees.
In recognition of the uneven distribution of wealth and financial constraints in different areas of the world, and in response to requests to address this issue made by IATIS membership during the General Assembly held in Seoul in August 2004, the Membership Committee has devised a scheme consisting of four Membership Fee Bands.Each country is thus assigned to
one of the four bands on the basis of its GDP.
Click hereto access an
alphabetical list of countries classified into the four membership bands. These bands are reviewed annually in accordance with the latest GDP figures published by
The CIA World Factbook 2008 and will be updated each year in the IATIS website by 31st December.
Individual Membership
IATIS members from
Band 1 countries pay full
fees, whereas members living in Band 2 ,
Band 3 , and
Band 4 countries are entitled to discounted
fees.
For institutions (universities,
associations, professional groups, etc.) wishing to join IATIS as a
group of 5 to 20 individuals, the full
membership fee will be reduced by 50% for each member within the group.
As with individual membership, the discount is calculated
on the basis of the country where the institution is located. Extra discounts
are available to groups of 21
to 40 individuals.
