Being a member of the NZSBMB has many perks, including receiving discounts on conference registrations, information on regional activities, and eligibility for our awards and travel grants. 

We offer a range of 1- to 5-year membership options. PhD students - a one-off payment entitles you to membership until you graduate. It pays to get your supervisor signed up too - you'll get a discount on your membership!

Pre-PhD students: We've have decided to give you free membership in 2023! This gets you members' rates on conference fees, and entry into any accompanying poster and speaker competitions. However, free memberships are not eligible for travel awards.
