Corporate Partner Membership
SCI is delighted to be working with a selection of companies and organisations
in our Corporate Partnership scheme. The different bands in the
scheme allow for any employer, large or small, to get
involved and invest in their own staff though offering SCI membership.

What is the Corporate Partnership scheme?
The SCI Corporate Partnership scheme has been launched to
support the continuation of exchanging and sharing information
and ideas, by encouraging employers to fund their employees'
annual subscriptions to SCI.
Through SCI's global network of forward-looking scientists,
researchers, business leaders, students and engineers, opportunities
are born and great friendships made.
There are three bands of Corporate Partnership; Bronze, Silver
and Gold. Each band requires a minimum number of new or renewing
Members to be eligible to take advantage of the extensive
range of benefits offered. The bands allow for any organisation to get involved
and support its own and its employees' investment and growth.
What are the tax implications?
SCI subscriptions are recognised by tax authorities in many
countries (including UK Inland Revenue) for conditional tax
relief and can therefore be claimed back.
What are the different bands of Corporate
Partnership?
There are three grades of Corporate Partnership and each
carries different benefits. SCI is an individual Membership
association and all Members registered through the Corporate
Partnership scheme, will be individual Members of SCI. SCI
does not allow companies to become Members.

What are the benefits of being a
Corporate Partner?
There are a huge variety of benefits Members and Corporate
Partners can enjoy including many intangible benefits. Many
of our Members frequently tell us that they renew year after
year due to the strong friendships they build up, and the new
ideas that result. For others, it improves and builds on their
knowledge of the sector that they are involved in, making
them more productive and proactive in their roles. With such
an extensive list of benefits, there's certainly something
for everyone.
Corporate Partnership: Frequently asked
questions
-
Who can apply for Corporate Partnership?
Any company, organisation or institute is invited to apply
for Corporate Partnership status.
-
Is there an annual fee for the Company?
No, SCI is an individual Member association and therefore
all Members registered through the Corporate Partnership
scheme will be individual Members of SCI. The company
itself does not become the Member but by funding employee
subscriptions, benefits from a wide range of offers and
concessions.
-
What happens to the employees who are already Members
of SCI before we became a Corporate Partner?
The remaining time for the Member's subscription will
remain the same and will not be counted as a Member of
the Corporate Partner. When renewal time approaches for
these Members, the contact at the company and the Member
will be notified and can be included in the Corporate
Partners Member list once they renew.
-
What if my company is small?
Companies can pay to upgrade their status. For further
information please email corporatepartners@soci.org.
