Becoming a member of the WCTR Society

 

 

All academics, experts and interested individuals are welcome to take part in the Society activities. To do so, you are invited to apply to be an individual member. A Country or Area Representative (CAR) has been appointed for each area and country. He or she works as a liaison with the WCTR society, and is here to help you to become a member and to obtain all the information needed on membership benefits. You can find your representative on each region's webpage (on the left).

Membership is for a three-year period which goes from one World Conference on Transport Research to the following Conference. The current membership period runs from June 2010 til May 31, 2013, including the last 12th WCTRS which has been held on July 11-15, 2010 in Lisbon.

Many existing members renewed their membership when registering for the Lisbon conference, and all who attended the conference automatically became members. For those who did not join then, reduced membership fees have been agreed for the period from 1st January 2012 to 31st March 2013 as listed below.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity to join the society, please download and complete the application form below and return it to the WCTRS Secretariat. Once your payment has been received you will receive an electronic confirmation of your renewal.

Current members are invited to update their personal details as input to the on-line Directory. Members can also keep their information updated subsequently. Simply click on My Profile, make the necessary changes and validate them.
