The International Phytolith Society (IPS) draws its membership from professionals working in fields as diverse as archaeology, biology, plant sciences, geology and soil studies, to name a few, and we warmly welcome all new members.

The current standard membership costs are US$20 per annum for all students and for researchers from developing countries and $35 per annum for researchers from the developed countries of high income economies, as defined by the World Bank.

Membership benefits:

  • global recognition as a member of the only international scientific society dealing exclusively with phytolith research

  • student research awards and travel grants
  • discounted registration at the International Meetings for Phytolith Research
