The membership class of AIP Affiliate is open to any non-profit, educational, or government organization with aligned purposes with AIP. Our work with our Affiliates aims to create opportunities for collaboration, connection, convening and the leveraging of resources. AIP Affiliate status is subject to approval by the AIP Board of Directors.
Opportunities for AIP Affiliates:
At AIP we aim to empower our Affiliates with content, context and connection. This work includes providing opportunities for information exchange, including participation in the AIP Annual Forum.
At the Annual Forum, AIP Affiliate staff and volunteer leaders join with peers from AIP Member Societies to discuss areas of mutual concern, connect with each other around shared opportunities, and learn from relevant experiences. Sessions address topics such as challenges/innovations in scientific publishing, public policy, effectively communicating to the public, supporting/growing the membership base, trends in philanthropic giving, strategic planning, supporting science education, promoting science as a viable career choice to a diverse population, and so forth. The Forum is also where leaders can become better acquainted and share ideas.
