As We Approach Our next Assembly on 9 April in Nice, We Can Report That Six New Members Will Be Joining the Emsc Community: Seismological

Nice, we can report that six new members will be joining the EMSC community: Seismological Institute (Albania), CRAAG (Algeria), University of Zagreb (Croatia), Institute of Geophysics (Georgia), DEUC (Monaco) and Montenegro Seismological Observatory (Yugoslavia), So, our membership continues to expand both in our number of institutions, and through our geographical coverage. We are now 56 organisations in 36 countries spread throughout our region of focus. As an agreed policy, we have continued to maintain a modest subscription fee to encourage even wider participation in order to gain from the increased communal benefits which this brings to the service we provide, both to our science and to the populations of our member countries. More affluent members continue to be encouraged to contribute more than one unit of subscription to compensate for this strategy of maintaining the basic fee without indexation for inflation.
