Annual membership fee of NLSEB is 40 euros. It is possible to sign up as member of NLSEB or continue your membership during the registration process. For signing up or continuing membership of NLSEB without attending the conference: also follow this link to the registration page.

​

Why become a member or continue your membership? Members can vote on who will be the board of NLSEB and will be on a mailing list that will keep you informed about conferences etc. But most of all, it will be support to a society that can represent evolutionary biology to funding agencies such as NWO and that will maintain an active community of evolutionary biologists in the Netherlands.

​

During registration you will be asked whether you plan to attend dinner or not, for organizational purpose.
