Good to know
A KIVI membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December. Do you sign up halfway through the year? Then we will calculate your contribution proportionally. Every year in November you will receive the invoice for the next calendar year. Your membership is renewed automatically, so you don't have to think about anything.
Do you live with a KIVI member at the same address and do you both receive De Ingenieur in print? Then you can choose to get one less copy of De Ingenieur in exchange for €85 discount on your membership fee.
Do you want to stop? No problem, you can cancel here.
Your membership ends at the end of the year. Cancellation must be done before 1 December of that year.
Discount for members living at the same address
Do you live with another KIVI member at the same address? Then you can get €85.00 discount on one membership fee. This applies to regular members as long as you live together. For a membership starting later in the year, the discount is calculated proportionally.
What you need to do to qualify
"For your KIVI membership, you get a huge bucket of value. And it doesn't really matter where you are in your career."
