From activity to application
Explain the role in your own words.
I work in aerospace systems engineering and would like to contribute to a defined technical question. This profile describes my own experience, not an official statement on behalf of my employer.
Example wording, not a verified member record or a statement of assessed capability.
Can an academic be both connected to an Institutional member and an Individual applicant?
Yes, the relationships are distinct. The institution applies in its own capacity; the person applies through Individual. Neither membership creates the other or guarantees an activity appointment.
State the main activity reflected by your chosen profile.
Give the relevant work, research, service or study context.
Describe a subject, perspective or question you would bring.
