AIP Affiliates

An AIP Affiliate is any non-profit, educational, or government organization with aligned purposes with AIP. Becoming an AIP-Affiliated Society is a formal recognition of this aligned philosophy, goals, and objectives. Through the AIP Affiliate program, AIP endeavors to create opportunities for collaboration and leveraging of resources where possible. AIP Affiliate status is subject to approval by the AIP Board of Directors.

Benefits to AIP Affiliates and their Members:

  • Opportunities for information exchange, including participation in the AIP Assembly Forum.  AIP Member and AIP affiliates leaders convene to discuss areas of mutual concern at the annual Annual Forum (organized and financed by AIP). 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 Assembly is also a forum where leaders can become better acquainted and share ideas.
