Join ISN as a new member in accordance to one of the below membership categories via the Application & Renewal page.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS
Any physician or scientist who has manifested a scientific interest in nephrology is eligible for ISN membership.

Members who renew during the renewal season (1 October - 31 January) are eligible for the special discount rate of US$ 203 or € 140.
JOINT MEMBERS
The ISN Joint Membership Program enables 2-10 individuals from emerging countries to enjoy a group ISN membership.
One subscription to each print edition of the society journals will be shared amongst the group members whilst online access and all other ISN benefits can be enjoyed on an individual basis.
A joint membership is available at the reduced total rate of US$ 155 per year. Joint Members who renew during the renewal season (1 October - 31 January) are eligible for the special discount rate of US$ 134.
This offer is only valid for nephrologists from developing countries (persons from a country included in the below World Bank PPP list are NOT eligible).
MEMBERS IN TRAINING
Trainees in nephrology, aged 37 and younger, are encouraged to apply for 'ISN Members in Training' status at a greatly reduced annual membership rate of US$ 72 or € 50 (all benefits included).
Eligible individuals must submit a copy of a valid form of identification stating their date of birth as well as a proof of their current training status to the ISN Global Headquarters, together with their completed membership form.
Member Sponsors
An ISN Member Sponsor is an individual who pays the full membership fee but donates his hardcopy journals to a recipient physician from the emerging world who is otherwise unable to afford access to these scientific publications. The Member Sponsor simply applies for individual membership after which all other benefits and services, such as online access to the journals, are activated. The benefactor may either select a recipient or ask ISN to send the journals to individuals or libraries on the waiting list. These generous members are requested to send a quick e-mail to the ISN Headquarters.
COLLECTIVE MEMBERS
The Collective membership category was created to allow nephrology societies that are affiliated to the ISN to sign up all their members collectively.
Affiliated societies who wish to be eligible for the special annual rate of $US 119 per person must sign up at least 75% of their total membership. These members are entitled to all benefits of a regular individual membership.
ISN has formed collective membership with the below Affiliated Societies:
Australian & New Zealand Soc. Nephrology (ANZSN)
Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN)
Iranian Society of Nephrology (IrSN)
