Membership of MSUK is open to UK universities and research-orientated organisations who share our commitment to advancing marine science and supporting a thriving ocean for the benefit of society.

Members are at the heart of MSUK’s leadership and decision-making. They shape our priorities, influence national and international marine policy, and drive collective action across the UK marine science community.

Each member organisation appoints a single representative (usually at Director, Executive or C-Suite level) to act and vote on its behalf. Organisations may also join collectively with others but will be represented by one appointed individual across the group.

Partnership opportunities are available for those unable to join as a member. Partners play an important role in co-creation and collaboration. While they do not have voting rights, Partners are valued contributors to discussions, working groups, and events.

To ensure we can support our members, an annual subscription is required.
