Around the world IRSE members benefit not only from a wealth of technical papers and publications containing industry news and views from across the globe, but also from the many opportunities to share and discuss ideas that are provided by the Institution’s conferences and local events.  

To support members at all stages of their career journey, discounted membership subscription rates are available for students and those who are fully retired.  An e-membership rate is also available for those who are happy to reduce their environmental footprint by receiving publications and information by electronic means.

Registration

Becoming professionally registered can be one of the greatest things you add to your CV!
