IMS and SIS (Società Italiana di Statistica) have agreed to form partnership for reciprocal membership due discount of 25%. IMS is working on the same agreement with the other 25 national statistical societies in EU (FENStatS). This would allow the participants from all those societies to pay the IMS member registration
rate, if they also join IMS.

Finally, the ICSDS will provide 10 travel awards, $800 USD each, to PhD students who participate in invited or contributed program. Applicants for the awards must be members of IMS, and joining at the time of application is allowed. Note that IMS membership is FREE for all students.
