AILU Membership
Research & Consultancy Organisations
Academic and other research institutions can benefit from the feedback and networking opportunities that membership of AILU provides. Key benefits of membership to research organisations include:
The Laser User Magazine (formerly The Industrial Laser User)
This magazine, which has attracted the highest praise from the international laser community, is distributed only to members and is generally regarded as one of the key benefits of membership. It aims to provide clear explanations of the latest laser technology and applications and stimulating discussion of the latest controversies. The growing library of articles from past issues, fully categorised, is available for members to download.
First published in 1995 it continues to go from strength to strength. You can search for articles of interest and download them for reference, see The Laser User page for more information.
Workshops
Members enjoy a discount to attend workshops and as a member you have the opportunity to influence the scope of the event and present a paper.
Products and Services Directory
Corporate members (only) who supply laser-related products and services are listed (free of charge) in all appropriate categories. Research organisations can be listed under several headings in the ‘services’ section. Through its high search engine rating, members included in this directory enjoy a greatly enhanced internet presence.
Networking
Members have free entry to the individual and (for corporate members only) corporate members directories, providing a valuable reference source for member networking including valuable industrial contacts for collaborative projects.
Forums
AILU members automatically qualify for access to the Technical Forum, through which they can make contact with visitors to the AILU website who have posed technical questions.
