Following a committee decision to review membership fees and categories, international members now benefit from the same rates as UK/EU members. We have also introduced a new three-year discounted student/unwaged/retired rate. Membership rates were last increased in 2018. Since then, we have all experienced significant inflation, and AISB’s administrative costs have increased significantly. EurAI will be increasing their affiliation fee by 33% in 2026. In the UK the cumulative inflation since 2018 has been almost 29%. Whilst we recognise that academic members’ salaries may not have kept pace with inflation, we feel it is essential to increase membership fees to help address increased costs. The new Ordinary Member rate of £55 represents an increase of just under 15%. The new rates are available on the web site: https://aisb.org.uk/membership-options/
