TEI Membership Benefits

There are several tangible benefits of membership in the TEI Consortium, and the TEI is in the process of developing additional benefits as well. One of the most important benefits, which is difficult to quantify, is the fact that support for the TEI helps ensure that this important community standard will continue to be available and supported for the future, and that its development keeps pace with the needs of the text encoding community. Other, more specific benefits, include the following:

TEI annual meeting and conference

The TEI annual meeting and conference is a central event in the TEI community and an excellent opportunity to meet with other TEI projects and users and learn more about new developments in the TEI world. Registration is free to current members and subscribers.

Voting in TEI elections

All TEI member institutions have a vote in TEI elections, which is cast by their designated elector at the TEI annual meeting.

Discounts on software

The TEI works to negotiate discounts with vendors of software. Currently TEI members and subscribers are entitled to a 20% discount on the popular <oXygen/> XML editor, which comes bundled with TEI schemas and stylesheets. Members and subscribers may obtain a discount code by contacting the TEI at membership@tei-c.org.

Discounts on training and consultation

TEI members and subscribers are entitled to receive discounts from participating institutions on TEI training workshops and consultation.
