Membership applications are considered by the ARCISS Executive Committee.
The Committee must be satisfied that your research centre

• undertakes research to high scientific standards
• is not controlled by a commercial or government organisation
• is non-profit making - whether a charitable trust, a charitable company or a discrete institute or centre within a university
• normally employs 5 or more full-time equivalent staff ( though exceptions to this requirement may be admitted in exceptional circumstances).

Applicants are asked to submit evidence on these matters - such as a recent Annual Report or brochure.

Membership of ARCISS is granted to two persons in each centre - the Director and the Senior Administrator. But other employees - both researchers and administrative support staff - are welcome to participate in ARCISS activities.

The annual subscriptions for 2012 are as follows

• 5-20 fte employees £130
• 21-30 fte employees £250
• 31-40 fte employees £320
• 40 plus fte employees £390
