# All World Congress of Bioethics participants will be members of the International Association of Bioethics, and hence are due to pay membership fees. The fees have been temporarily reduced on the occasion of the 14th World Congress of Bioethics, Bengaluru. Three different tiers apply; you will have to pay either US$80, US$30, or US$10, depending on your country and student/employment status. This membership fee once paid will ensure membership till before the 2020 World Congress. Unfortunately due to foreign exchange regulations in India it is impossible for us to collect these via the congress registration, as has been done in the previous years. Please pay the fees directly to the IAB secretariat, via this link: https://iab-secretariat.org/wp/
A receipt/confirmation will be sent to you on payment. Kindly keep a payment confirmation handy if needed for follow-up.
