We invite all scholars and institutions with a serious interest in African borderlands to join the network.
To join, you have to do 2 things IN THIS ORDER:
1. Pay your first annual membership fee or write an e-mail to request a waiver (see below). If you fail to do either your application will be rejected.
A small annual fee is used to keep the network running.
The money that will accrue from membership fees will be used to support ABORNE activities. This includes maintenance of the website and support for future events within the network.
Members have access to the member area of the website and receive the ABORNE newsletter.
Our annual fees are:
Students 5 Euro
Researchers 15 Euro
Institutions (with access for up to 10 individual members) 150 Euro

We also require at least one recommendation letter from an existing member to grant a waiver.
