Most of the YGMRO organization publications, including the conferences and journals, are now freely available on the website. Moreover, YGMRO members are given the exclusive access to research materials that are not generally made available to the general public.
YGMRO membership, based upon the present terms and conditions, entitles its members discounts when attending conferences and other relevant events such as socialization and awards nights.
