ASDC New Membership Packages 2023-24

How do I join?

To apply for ASDC Membership, please contact the team at admin@sciencecentres.org.uk and request an application form.

The ASDC membership fees are £470, £725 and £1,300 based upon the number of individual staff at your centre.

Our membership year runs from April 1 - March 31 and new members will need to be approved by the ASDC Board. All members can vote at the AGM and can stand for election to the ASDC Board. All new members must demonstrate scientific integrity in their work and we encourage all to sign up to the Ecsite statement on Science and Evolution.

Renew your membership

ASDC Annual Membership runs From April 1st - March 31st each year.

Each year in April we send your membership renewal invoice direct to your finance department. This invoice is marked FAO of a named ASDC contact at your science centre.

At the same time we email the same named person at your science centre to let them know the membership invoice has been sent.

Simply pay the invoice by BACS or cheque. This is the method we would recommend as no charges are incurred by your organisation or ASDC.

Please feel free to email admin@sciencecentres.org.uk if you have any questions.
