Friend Associate

The Friend Associate walks alongside the Society by affinity, before any contribution. Friends receive open content, follow the Society's initiatives, and join a community that regards knowledge as a shared heritage. Enrollment is free, immediate, and open to the public.

Associate categories provide cultural participation and institutional support through a distinct relationship without admission to the Academic Body.
