How to Become a member of TERMIS

Membership to TERMIS is open to individuals who are interested in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and support the mission of the Society. 

All TERMIS members are members of the Global Society.

Each member is categorized into a Chapter of the Society based on their current place of residence.  Currently, TERMIS Global has three region based chapters: Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

TERMIS Membership Dues Structure

Annual Membership Dues

    • Regular Membership (annual dues: $130.00 USD) - Any individual who does not qualify as a Student Member.
    • Regular Membership - Group A (annual dues:  $50.00 USD) - Any individual who does not qualify as a Student Member. Group A Countries defined below.
    • Student Membership (annual dues: $30.00 USD)

      •  Student: A student is any individual who is engaged as a graduate or undergraduate in a university or college program or as an MD resident and is actively interested in research in the field of TERM.  Students are required to provide their university ID for verification of their undergraduate/graduate status.
      • Young Investigator: Young Investigators are defined as persons who are employed in the field of TERM, who are within 5 years of their terminal degree (BS, MS, PhD, MD etc.).  Young Investigators should not hold an appointment as faculty, academic staff or group leader in a university/research institute or in industry.  Young investigators are required to have their advisor/supervisor send a letter as proof of the bona fide status of the young investigator.

      • If you've been away from research (e.g. for a career break, maternity leave, or long-term sick leave), TERMIS will take this into consideration with your application. If you've taken formal maternity, paternity, or adoption leave as the primary career, or long-term sick leave, TERMIS will provide an extra six months for each period of leave when we consider your postdoctoral experience.
