How to apply

Do you want to become a member of the ISCM?

The procedure is easy, but we will need a bit of information from you, before we can proceed with the confirmation of your membership.

You must send a application to the ISCM office to:

Ms. Olga Smetanova, Secretary General
by email: [email protected]

Below you will find a complete description of what you should provide. We prefer digital documents as (scanned) pdf’s. The application process depends on the member category you want.

ISCM Section application

For ISCM Section applications you must send us, two months before the General Assembly:

  1. a copy of your organisation’s statutes;
  2. a list of all your current officers (president, chairman, secretary general, treasurer and so forth);
  3. a report on the activities your organization has had during the last two years;
  4. a declaration that you will renounce the right to bear the name of ISCM Section in the event of the end of your membership.

The ISCM General Assembly will vote on your membership application at the following ISCM General Assembly. Your organization will become an ISCM Section immediately upon a successful vote, with all the corresponding membership rights.

ISCM Associate Member application (all subcategories)

Associate Members are admitted at the decision of the ISCM Executive Committee

For an ISCM Associate Member application (Full, Affiliated, Allied and Corporate Associate Member) you must send us the same material as a for an ISCM Section application. That is:

  1. a copy of your statutes;
  2. a list of all your current officers (president, chairman, secretary general, treasurer and similar;
  3. a report on the activities your organization has had during the last two years;
  4. a declaration that you will renounce the right to bear the name of ISCM Associate Member in the event of the end of your membership.

However, there is one additional information that you must provide, to the best of your intentions:

If there is an ISCM Section in your home country, then you should send us their recommendation for your admission to the Society. If this is not possible, then the ISCM General Secretary will contact them before the decision regarding the application for admission is made. Please notice that the availability or content of such an opinion is not binding for the ISCM Executive Committee’s decision.

Your organization will become an ISCM Associate Member immediately upon a successful decision by the ISCM Executive Committee, with all the corresponding membership rights.
