In addition, a few Active Members this year are becoming Senior Members of the ESB due to retirement or to their long-standing participation in the society. We are glad to see them still actively attending our Congresses, and giving their contribution to the ESB.
During the yearly congress in Lyon, a new Honorary member was presented to the General Assembly, Prof. Romuald Bedzinski.
Corporate Members
Companies joining the ESB as Corporate members are giving a valuable financial support. This for instance enables the ESB to provide more travel grants for students to attend the yearly meeting, allowed creating the Mobility Awards, and new Corporate-sponsored best paper awards.
Currently, our Corporate members are: AMT, Ansys, Baasys, ßBeta, Delsys, Materialise, MTS, Nobel Biocare and Taylor & Francis. If you know of any company that might be interested in joining us, please contact the membership committee: membership.chair@esbiomech.org
How to pay the ESB yearly membership fee?
In order to avoid any confusion regarding the payment of the ESB membership fee, we remind you of the following:
- If you attend the annual ESB congress this year (Seville), this will pay for your ESB membership until the end of the following year (2018).
- If you do not attend the annual ESB congress in Seville, your membership will elapse at the end of the current year (2017). For the following year you will be required to pay your annual membership fee online.
- Members who allow their membership to lapse by not paying their membership fee for 2 consecutive years (i.e. neither paying online, nor by attending the annual ESB congress) will be maintained within the membership database for a period of 2 years, under the status of “resigned”.
For more details about membership payment rules, please visit the dedicated page.
To update/check your membership profile and fee payments, you just need to login in the ESB website and follow the link to the online payment page, on the right. The ESB website has been redesigned recently, but you can still login with your email address (the one you used to register for the ESB) and old password.
