 #### Individual Members 
 
-According to its [statute](statutes.qmd), the OSC has three categories of individual membership. Individual members express that they actively support the goals of the OSC. Beyond this, we encourage members to become ‘ambassadors’ of open research practices in whatever capacity they find suitable, e.g. contribute in delivering training events or seminars, contribute in community building, get involved in meta-research projects, or liaise with stakeholders to inform on the design of incentives and policies. Only OSC members can vote for and take part in the [OSC Scientific Board](../people/scientific-board.qmd).
