Membership of the British Institute of Persian Studies is open to all and we welcome new members. All applications for membership are reviewed and approved by the BIPS Governing Council on a rolling basis: in the case of unsuccesful applications, payments made towards membership fees will be refunded in full.
The Institute organizes an extensive programme of talks, conferences and workshops throughout the year in the UK and overseas. It publishes its journal IRAN and occasional books in its Archaeological Monographs and Persian Studies Series. Members will also receive regular updates about our activities and the Annual Report.
