1. EAS Membership for Hel.A.S. members
We would like to remind all our members that the European Astronomical Society (EAS) is offering free membership to all junior and ordinary members of Hel.A.S., as well as members of all EAS affiliated societies. As a result, with just the Hel.A.S. annual membership fee, one may also receive all EAS member benefits, presented here. Once a year we have the possibility to update this list so new members of Hel.A.S., as well as old members who did not take advantage of this opportunity can benefit from the EAS membership. EAS may use the members’ data for EAS-only matters, such as sending e-mails with various information, as well as the EAS newsletter, logging on the EAS website, etc. The EAS will never sell or otherwise make available the members’ data to commercial or non-commercial third parties. Members that leave the EAS can request that their data be erased from the EAS database. All members of HelAS who are not already EAS members and wish to join may send an e-mail to secretary@helas.gr with the following sentence as the Subject line. “I am an Ordinary/Junior member of HelAS and I wish to join EAS for free!” The e-mail must be received by September 1, 2025.
