UIA is changing its membership levels starting January 2023 to make it easier for all members to participate in UIA programs without constantly having to pay for separate registrations for Virtual Collaborations.

Basic Membership will provide access to all standard UIA information – the quarterly newsletter, information about upcoming Virtual Collaborations and Symposia, and the ability to interact with your ultrasonic colleagues around the world. |
