INQUA Members

After admission each Group Member forms a National or Regional INQUA Committee to represent it in the affairs of the Union. Each Group Member appoints one Group Delegate to the International Council of the Union, where the Group Delegate has the right to vote, provided the current subscription of the Group Member has been received by the Treasurer.

To Become a Member

Nations and regions may become members by writing via the appropriate national or regional body to the INQUA Secretary General to initiate the application procedure.

Associate Membership is available for countries or geographic regions where financial support for Quaternary scientists is low, and an association of not less than three such scientists exists. Associate Members pay no annual subscription, but have no vote in the International Council and may not propose candidates for election to office in the Executive Committee. Applications are made by writing to the INQUA Secretary General to initiate the application procedure.

Individuals may not become INQUA Members, and should rather join INQUA Commissions that interest them as Corresponding Members.
