Membership: Affiliates and Fellows

Who is eligible to be an Affiliate?

Affiliates must be full-time academic staff at UP. If you are a full-time member of the academic staff at UP, you can become a fellow by submitting your Affiliate profile. 

What does it mean to be a Fellow?

Fellows are recognized experts in their fields from the wider research community outside of UP. Fellowship is by invitation only. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a UP ISC Fellow or would like to recommend someone to become a Fellow.
