Members
How to become a member?
The Hub membership scheme will be institutional-based, with an opportunity for individuals to also become a member. Individuals who want to join needs to provide an acknowledgment from their institution. Two types of memberships includes core members and observers. Core members are institutions and individuals who are committed to involve and support the Hub’s activities. Meanwhile, the observers are the members who have made a relatively low commitment to the Hub by participating in only a few Hub activities. The observer may become a key member of the Hub in the longer term.
For those who are interested to join, please contact us.
