If you are interested in becoming an idw member, please contact the idw team. To check your qualification for membership, we need conclusive information about your institution – such as links to your website, press releases or your current statutes. We want to get an idea of your institution’s main fields of activity. Please send this information with your request to check your qualifications to service@idw-online.de. The qualification check normally takes about two weeks.

The notice of termination must be given in writing and be received by idw at the latest by 31 October of the financial year.
