Call for Inaugural Members

1. The Inaugural Call for Founding Members

2026 marks the inaugural year of the International Society of Applied Science, Technology and Engineering (ISASTE). To build a robust, globally representative leadership foundation, we are currently extending exclusive invitations to world-class principal investigators, researchers, and industrial pioneers to join our Founding Cohort.

Becoming an inaugural member of ISASTE is an extraordinary opportunity to shape the strategic trajectory of a rising global academic cooperative. Founding members will play a decisive role in establishing our Technical Program Committees (TPCs), guiding our initial series of international conferences, and setting the gold standard for our rigorous double-blind peer review protocols.

2. Privileges of ISASTE Membership

Membership in ISASTE is a mark of professional distinction. We offer a platform where active contributors can amplify their academic impact. Validated members enjoy the following privileges:

• Academic Leadership & Recognition: Eligible Ph.D. holders are prioritized for prestigious appointments as Conference Co-Chairs, Technical Program Committee (TPC) members, and Keynote/Invited Speakers at ISASTE-supported international symposia.
• Strategic Governance: Regular and Senior Members possess voting rights to shape the long-term scientific trajectory of the society. Members are encouraged to propose special sessions, initiate regional workshops, and suggest focal themes for upcoming conferences.
• Official Certification: Upon approval, members receive an official, verifiable digital certificate denoting their specific membership grade (e.g., Founding Member, Senior Member). This credential serves as a robust endorsement of their scientific achievements for professional portfolios.
• Vetted Academic Networking: Access to a strictly curated, Ph.D.-level global community. This fosters an environment of high trust, enabling scholars to establish cross-border research partnerships, co-author international grants, and organize joint special issues.

3. Membership Grades and Ph.D. Requirements

To fiercely protect the scientific prestige of our society, ISASTE enforces a strict, merit-based entry threshold. We do not accept undergraduate students. All applicants are evaluated by the Executive Board based on their verifiable research output.

• Student Member: Exclusively for active Master's and Ph.D. candidates. Requires proof of enrollment from an accredited institution.
• Regular Member: Requires a completed Ph.D. in a STEM field. (Note: Only Regular Members and above are legally permitted to conduct peer reviews for ISASTE proceedings.)
• Senior Member: Requires a minimum of 10 years of post-doctoral research experience and a proven track record of scientific leadership.
• Founding Fellow: Currently by nomination and direct invitation only. Reserved for internationally acclaimed scholars willing to serve on our Advisory Committee during this inaugural phase.
