Individual Student Member
Sign up as a Student Member
Please read carefully the following:
- Fill in and send in the form below to become a Student Member of the Portuguese Society of Physiology (individual associate member exclusively for university students at all levels).
- The annual (calendar year) subscription for a Student Member is Twenty Euro (20€).
- The minimum period of membership is two consecutive years. By joining the SPF, you accept this starting condition.
- In order to benefit from the status of being a SPF Student Member, the applicant must prove their condition e.g., to present an annual declaration authenticated by the host institution proving that condition in the current academic year.
- After submitting the form, you will receive the details and instructions for payment by bank transfer at your email. If you do not receive the registration email in your inbox, please check your SPAM folder or contact us.
VERY IMPORTANT – if you wish to give up your membership, you must inform SPF of this decision within the current calendar year, once the membership fee for that year has been paid. If this information is not forthcoming, the amount of outstanding membership fees will be accumulated and due for the corresponding total amount, with the possibility of adding interest costs. The member in default will have all benefits suspended until the default has been eliminated. On the other hand, any former member who complies with these rules can apply for readmission to SPF without any accumulated debts.
