Please note that from 01/07/2010 a completely new membership fee structure is implemented which differentiates the amount of the membership fee according to the gross national income (GNI) per capita of the member's home country, using the World Bank Atlas method. The aim of this measure is to help building a truly world-wide community for all aspects of development and design, in particular by helping scientists and practitioners from developing countries join in.

For initial information, please download the following table: worldbank_classification_20100510.pdf
