Looking forward to the 1000th ESB member!
The ESB currently counts more than 940 members; therefore we are very close to being a 1000-member strong society. We will celebrate our 1000th member by giving away a prize of 5 years of free membership to the member that, once approved, becomes the 1000th individual member of the ESB (this does not include corporate membership). So encourage your colleagues and students to apply for ESB membership, they may be the lucky one to win the prize.

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 attended the ESB congress in Patras, membership fees for 2014 were already included within the price of congress registration.
- If you attend the WCB in Boston in July, please remember to indicate you are affiliated with the ESB when you register (you will find a dedicated dropdown box in the WCB registration page). This way, your WCB registration will automatically cover ESB membership for year 2015.
- If you do not attend the annual ESB congress (or the WCB, this year), your membership will elapse at the end of the following year, and 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 (this can be done online, or 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 account overview link 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.
