An individual member of at least 45 years of age, that has been a member of the Association for more than eight consecutive years and that has served IABSE and/or the Profession in a way as defined by the Executive Committee may be invited by the President to become a Fellow. Fellows pay in addition to their annual membership fee an annual fellow fee of CHF 200.

The IABSE Fellows’ generous contributions allow to support special programmes of IABSE such as the Young Engineers Programme (YEP). Since 2002, this Programme has facilitated the attendance of hundreds of young engineers at IABSE Conferences by supporting reduced registration fees for young engineers and awarding outstanding presentations made personally by young engineers.
