Thanks to an agreement just signed with the Società Botanica Italiana, it has become possible, as from the current year 2010, to pay the Membership dues for both associations – SBI and OPTIMA – with a single money transfer, and at the same time to benefit by a discount: the combined membership costs 100 euros instead of 110 (30 and 80 euros, respectively).
By this agreement, both associations hope to attract additional members, the incentive being procedural simplification (single payment needed) and a rebate.
Please note that the SBI fee includes free subscription to the journal “Informatore Botanico Italiano”. The other journal of the SBI, “Plant Biosystems”, can be subscribed to at a special membership rate (currently 27 euro), to be paid separately in addition. The OPTIMA Membership benefits are unchanged.
If you are not yet a Member of the SBI, the OPTIMA team in Palermo will take the necessary steps for enrolling you, upon receipt of your payment.
Go to the Joint membership page for more detrails.

As in recent years the Newsletter’s distribution has become erratic rather than timely, relevant items are henceforth being posted in the present News section if and when they become available. Once every year these News will be consolidated into a Newsletter issue, in form of a pdf file, to be mailed electronically to all Members of which the Secretariat knows a valid e-mail address (other members will be advised to download their copy from the OPTIMA Website).
A hard-copy Newsletter will continue to be produced in limited numbers, to be mailed to the Institutional Members and kept as permanent record in their libraries. Personal Members who wish to receive the OPTIMA Newsletter on paper can purchase it at cost (5 € apiece, including postage) as long as the stock lasts.
