Joint membership page

Thanks to an agreement signed with the Società Botanica Italiana, it has become possible 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 120 euros instead of 130 (50 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 online subscription to the journals “Italian” and “Notiziario della Società Botanica Italiana”. The other journal of the SBI, “Plant Biosystems”, can be subscribed to at a special membership rate (currently 33 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 payments.  

The current membership rates are:

OPTIMA Ordinary + SBI: 120 €
OPTIMA Ordinary + SBI + Plant Biosystems: 153 €

OPTIMA Online only+ SBI: 97.50 €
OPTIMA Online only + SBI + Plant Biosystems: 130.50 €
