How to Become a Member of EFAEP  

How to become a member of EFAEP

1. Who can become a member?
EFAEP distinguishes between full members and associate members.

Full members shall be national associations based in Europe, dealing with one or more aspects of environmental sciences, technology and policy. A member shall be a non-political, non-governmental, non-profit making, professional association effectively promoting activities in the field of environmental sciences, pollution and waste prevention, risk management, environmental management, health protection, control technologies and policies, anti-pollution legislation and the like. The membership fee is currently € 1 per respective paying member, with a minimum fee for the institution of € 250 and a maximum fee of € 7000.

Associate members are organisations with a profound interest in environmental issues which don’t meet the above mentioned conditions (for details see statutes). Associate members don’t have a voting right in the General Assembly.


2. What is the most important information a potential new member should get?
A good overview on EFAEP is available on the web page (www.efaep.org). The statutes of EFAEP describe in detail the way the association is organised and which rights and duties members have.
EFAEP members can also take full benefit of ENEP, the European Network of Environmental Professionals (www.environmentalprofessionals.eu), a unique web-platform for the European Environmenal Professionals.


3. How to apply for membership?
Members and Associate Members have to apply for membership in writing. The application should be addressed to the EFAEP Office Brussels. The application should include:
- An application letter
- A short description of the organisation (structure, activities, etc., see web page for an example)
- A copy of their statutes and their legal registration
- Information about the number of members relevant for EFAEP
- Contact person responsible for the EFAEP membership
Their application will be considered by the Executive Committee, which alone has the power to accept or reject the applications.
