RAST extends a cordial invitation to everyone interested in scientific or technological research to join us. Members are offered a variety of benefits and services.

IRAST Technical Committees are in charge of developing and applying various technologies and methodologies. Members can enjoy research opportunities and professional growth by participating in the activities of the existing Technical Committees or propose to chair new Technical Committees, so as to remain on the leading edge of science and technology.

IRAST sponsors/co-sponsors a number of conferences and workshops. These meetings promote interactions and networking among researchers and practitioners. Members receive regular announcements of these conferences and meetings. You are cordially invited to submit your research results to these conferences. All IRAST conferences are peer-reviewed. You are also welcome to propose new IRAST conferences in active research areas to be held in different parts of the world. Members are invited to join IRAST conference organizing/program/review committees and enjoy opportunities for professional services. If you are not able to attend an IRAST conference, you may purchase the conference proceedings published by IRAST (Members can enjoy discounts when purchasing proceedings).

Local IRAST Sections and Chapters offer a platform for members in the same geographical region to associate and network. You are most welcome to join your local Section or Chapter if it already exists in your local region or propose to chair a new Section or Chapter if it is not yet established.

Presently, IRAST membership is free of charge for the current calendar year. If you are not yet a member of IRAST, but would like to join, please send an email and your CV to: member @ IRAST.org (please remove spaces around @ in this email address).
