Membership constitutes a commitment to support the goals of the institution.

TSCF members can be individuals (natural persons) or organizations (legal persons). Legal persons must be represented within TSCF by one or more natural persons. There are two kinds of members: supporting members and active members. The former contribute a membership fee. The latter are supporting members who, at the request of the Board of Directors, take up specific responsibilities within the projects run by the organization. Supporting members may become active members any time depending on their wishes and profiles. All members abide by the Code of Ethics and by the Member Code of Conduct. 

Members receive free access to the publications. They are informed of our developments and projects, and receive an electronic newsletter containing announcements of the forthcoming conferences, calls for papers and publications. They can network with other members, and their announcements can be circulated, free of charge, to our database. They are consulted on all important decisions and hold voting rights at the decision-making bodies of TSCF. They may obtain support for special activities and be involved in TSCF bids. They can attend the TSCF conferences, organize sessions and present papers with a reduced conference fee after one year seniority. 

Membership fee differs according to the country where their main professional activity is based: the higher fee is for high-income economies and upper-middle-income economies, and the lower fee for all other countries.
