Let\u2019s look at ways in which societies can attract and engage with international members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Host Virtual Events<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By and large, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-021-00513-1\" aria-label=\"biggest advantage of virtual events\">biggest advantage of virtual events<\/a> is how accessible they are. Travel, accommodation, and visa costs\u2014all of which can be prohibitive for researchers from low- and middle-income countries\u2014are eliminated. Keeping some events online-only and having a virtual component to offline events (i.e., hybrid events) makes society activities much more accessible to international researchers. It\u2019s also a good idea to repeat sessions or webinars at different times and days, to cater to multiple time zones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p><em>Pro tip: In emailers, notices, etc. about virtual events or webinars, use the 24-hour clock and specify multiple time zones in the description (e.g., 09:00 EDT, 13:00 GMT, 22:00 JST).<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Actively Increase Diversity<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Audiences identify with and engage with speakers of their own ethnicity or cultural background more easily. Virtual conferences make it easier for societies to recruit speakers from a variety of countries, and several societies also include\u00a0 an \u201cinternational\u201d component to their governance structures, such as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aps.org\/about\/governance\/leadership\/board\/index.cfm\" aria-label=\"international councilor\">international councilor<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acs.org\/content\/acs\/en\/about\/governance\/committees\/international-activities.html\" aria-label=\"international committees\">international committees<\/a>. In all this, however, it\u2019s important to avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/09\/what-it-will-take-to-improve-diversity-at-conferences\" aria-label=\"token diversity\">token diversity<\/a> (e.g., having just one member or speaker outside the dominant country or region).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Exploit Social Media<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Judicious social media use can help societies reach out to and engage with members from a variety of countries. For instance, the European Molecular Biology Organization used the hashtag <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/network\/societyleaders\/member-engagement\/how-to-make-social-media-a-powerful-member-engagement-tool\" aria-label=\"#ScienceSolidarity\">#ScienceSolidarity<\/a> to promote its online list of resources for US researchers stranded by Trump\u2019s 2017 immigration ban on 7 Muslim-majority countries. As a result of social media publicity, researchers outside the US made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chemistryworld.com\/news\/global-effort-to-help-scientists-trapped-by-trumps-immigration-order\/2500374.article\" aria-label=\"new contributions to the list as frequently as every 3-4 minutes\">new contributions to the list as frequently as every 3-4 minutes<\/a>. To cater to an international audience, Societies need to use multiple platforms and repost announcements strategically. For instance, a tweet posted at 11 AM ET might not be seen by an East Asian audience, for whom it is midnight or nearly so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.impact.science\/case-studies\/the-bmj-brand-engagement-in-china-augmented.html\" aria-label=\"Read more: How The BMJ boosted engagement in China by leveraging local social media platforms\">Read more: How The BMJ boosted engagement in China by leveraging local social media platforms<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Translate Judiciously<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For a society targeting a specific country or region, translating research content owned by the society into the local language is expensive and time-consuming. Many non-native English-speaking researchers, though capable of reading and following scientific information in English, would be comfortable if webpages related to registration, payments, etc. were in their native language. This allows them to navigate society websites and resources more easily, while reducing translation overheads for the society.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Price Equitably<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Membership dues, conference registration fees, etc. can be prohibitive for researchers in the Global South, especially low- and middle-income countries. Societies need to explore various alternative pricing models, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autism-insar.org\/page\/INSARmembership\" aria-label=\"tiered pricing\">tiered pricing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asbmr.org\/membership\/benefits\" aria-label=\"travel grants\">travel grants<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/afem.africa\/project\/support-a-delegate-supadel\/\" aria-label=\"support-a-delegate\">support-a-delegate<\/a> schemes.
