Institutional Membership is open to academic institutions that conduct scientific research on family phenomena and for institutions which are linked to universities.
There are four levels of Institutional membership:

Sponsoring Institutional Members: firms, companies, or governmental institutes that do not conduct scientific research and that are willing to comply with the aims of the Society and to provide support in any form. The membership fee is 5000 € (minimally) per year.
