The "ICC family" is a membership-based organisation with Country, Corporate, Institutional as well as Individual and Student Members. Due to its strong membership base, the ICC provides unique opportunities for cereal scientists and technologists around the world, whether in industry, research or academia, to collaborate in developing new knowledge on cereal grains and their products, and the methods used in their evaluation. Today, many branches of science require even greater international collaboration than before and ICC actively pursues the development of links with cereal associations at country, regional and international levels.
ICC Country Membership is the highest level of affiliation within ICC. It is the primary means of influencing the association's activities and priorities and of directly benefiting from these outputs. Depending on country population there are three categories of country membership.
