Comments:

Do you want us to invoice your subscriptions annually or for a three-year period.

Students and Post-Doctoral members do not qualify for Three year membership

Subscriptions for a three-year period - following benefits:

  • It is less admin for SACI having to send out the invoice only once every three years instead of annually

  • It is easier for members whose fees are paid for by their company or university to get them to make one payment instead of three separate payments and

  • MOST IMPORTANTLY, you are immune from subscription increases for three years i.e. you will only pay three times the 2019/20 membership rate and avoid any increases which will be brought in for 2020/21 and 2021/22.

Every member is required so to order his/her conduct as to uphold the dignity of the profession of Chemistry; and in whatever capacity he/she may be engaged, to act towards his/her clients, employers, others with whom his/her work is connected, and his/her fellow-members in a manner consistent with the Mission of the Institute.
