Join the Society
If you apply for Fellowship at the same time as registering for AC2013, the Society will waive the Fellowship joining fee (a one-off payment of £30) normally paid in addition to the first year’s subscription. In addition to reduced registration fees for conference, Fellows and members enjoy a wide range of benefits, including access to the Society's Research Groups, academic journals, online lectures, the Society's Collections, and more.
The one-off £30 joining fee is automatically waived for Postgraduate Fellowship, leaving just the first year’s subscription to pay.
