Who can join?
Membership is open to individuals (over the age of 18 years) who are interested in furthering the work of AEME and who have paid the annual subscription or any organisation which is interested in furthering AEME's work and has paid the annual subscription (any such organisation being referred to as a “member organisation”). Within the association, every member has one vote, with member organisations appointing an individual to represent it at formal meetings.
Members are welcome from around the world, however, AEME has been developed as a subject association within the UK education framework and most activity therefore takes place in this context. At this stage we currently have members from the UK and Netherlands. The majority of our members are from UK based HE providers.
