Membership in IDEALS is automatically renewed as soon as members pay their annual membership dues.

Annual dues for 2009-2010 are:

• Individual members: Euro €50 or US$70 or CAN$70
• Student Members: Euro €25 or US$35 or CAN$35
• Institutional members: Euro €250 or US$350 or CAN$350

Please note: Individual members are kindly requested to pay 2 years of dues at once, thus saving considerably on exchange rates and banking charges. If payment of 2 years of dues at once causes financial hardship, please contact the Treasurer for a waiver of this requirement. Members are most welcome to pay dues for more than 2 years at once.

• OPTION 4: Payment in Euros by credit card (via PayPal)
  PayPal is an international on-line money transfer agency. With PayPal as the intermediary, you will be able to make your dues payments to IDEALS using a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover) or a withdrawal from your own bank account. If you have never used PayPal before, you will need to sign-up. Sign-up is fast and easy. Once signed-up, you will be able to use PayPal for all of your future IDEALS payments, or for any other (inter)national payments to a business that accepts PayPal. PayPal charges a small transaction fee. The fee is lowest if you allow PayPal to charge your bank account as opposed to your credit card. Go to www.paypal.com
