The International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (IS-MPMI) has more than 1,000 members from more than 40 countries researching molecular aspects of microorganisms interacting with plants and the consequences of such interactions. IS-MPMI membership runs on an anniversary basis. Your IS-MPMI membership will officially begin on the day you join and will be available for 12 months. Renew for two years and enjoy a 20% discount on membership dues!
We are offering a 50% discounted membership for researchers based in the Global South, available to all researchers whose primary affiliation is in a country on the Global South eligibility list.

IS-MPMI’s president will cover the membership cost of the first 25 students and postdocs from the Global South who request a waiver, so they can enjoy a free two-year membership to IS-MPMI. Write to contact@ismpmi.org for information.
Any early-career researcher from a Global South country selected to present in the Rising Stars of IS-MPMI webinar series will receive a four-year IS-MPMI membership package: one year of complimentary membership (Year 1), followed by three years at 30% of the full membership rate (i.e. a 70% discount off the full rate, applied in Years 2–4), starting from July 2026. This package is independent of the 50% Global South discounted membership. Please reach out to contact@ismpmi.org for your discount code if eligible.
