Full Membership
is for individuals or companies with a demonstrable commercial interest in seaweed, and its supply and value chain, operating within Scotland. Full members based outside Scotland need to be aware that any representation to regulatory authorities is currently limited to the devolved authorities in Scotland, unless there is an alignment of interest and regulatory jurisdiction (e.g. with UK and/or EU bodies) in which case SSIA could represent members' interests at a wider level.
Full membership allows voting rights at AGM or EGM meetings, and the right to stand for election as a director.
Corporate/Group Membership
is for a company or group with a demonstrable commercial interest in seaweed, and its supply and value chain, operating within Scotland.
Corporate / Group membership allows for an equivalent of 1 voting right at any AGM or EGM meetings, and the right to stand for election as a director, if you are aligned with the objectives and roles of the SSIA, in the same way a full member would be.
Group Membership can also be sought for organisations with multiple members who are not fully aligned with the SSIA, but they will not qualify for a vote at any AGMs.
Associate Membership
is for individuals or companies with a demonstrable commercial interest in seaweed, but without the necessity to be operating in Scotland or to have commercial interests in Scotland. SSIA actively welcomes associate members from elsewhere.
Student Membership
is for anyone showing evidence of student status with an interest in seaweeds. For student applications please email evidence of student status to info@ssia.scot
