MEMBERSHIP Benefits

We believe that social, economic and environmental problems are not isolated and dealing with their complex interactions is vital.

Do you agree? Help us support us to promote systems thinking as an essential tool for change.

Bringing a range of people together – across sectors – is integral to sustainable change. If you would like to get involved with our work, please see below for opportunities.

While we are based in Bristol (UK) we work with people across the world, so don’t let geography get in the way of getting in contact!

Here’s a sneak peak of what we offer. Check out and subscribe to our channel for more videos.

BECOME A MEMBER?

Membership is for those working in the fields of sustainability, systems thinking, economics or international development and who share in Schumacher’s vision of fairness, human scale development, local action, simplicity and peace. We welcome anyone wishing to participate in the institute. Memebership is a way to support our work financially. 

The institute is officially recognised as an organisation that undertakes research at the highest level and is a professional body of the highest standing. Our members have either:

  • a degree-level qualification in a relevant subject, or
  • experience of working in these fields, or
  • a great passion to see a just and sustainable world.

Support our work by joining us as a member.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP

Membership fees are just £10 a month but this can be reduced for those unable to afford that amount.

Benefits include:

  • regular newsletters about our events, activities and news of other members
  • our reports on sustainability, resilience and development thinking
  • the chance to share your work through our channels and to publish through the Institute
