Effective Membership
All members of the General Assembly are effective members of the EORTC. In addition, members of the EORTC Groups and EORTC Committees are associate members of the organization.
Associated Membership
Investigators recruiting patients for the association’s
clinical studies, or contributing to laboratory research conducted for these
clinical studies or to other EORTC activities approved by the Board, are admitted
as associated members. They must be natural persons.
Applications of candidate associated members are submitted for assessment to
the Membership Committee (MC). They may be submitted by the candidate directly,
or by a Group Chairman. The Membership Committee delivers its recommendation
to the Board. A Group Chairman may appeal to the General Assembly against the
refusal of an application he or she had submitted.
Associated membership is granted for an initial probation period ending immediately
prior to the date of the third ordinary General Assembly held after the admission
of the associated member. Associated membership can then be renewed for successive
periods of three years. Each renewal is subject to assessment by the Membership
Committee and approval by the Board. The Board decides on the renewals at its
last meeting before each ordinary General Assembly. A Group Chairman may appeal
to the General Assembly against the refusal to renew the associated membership
of a member of his or her group.
The Board may withdraw the associated membership from members who do not any
more meet the admissibility criteria applied by the Board (a minimum of 15 patients
recruited over the last 3 years across all EORTC Groups).
Associated membership is suspended whilst the member is an effective member,
and restored at the end of the effective membership for the remaining duration
of its term.
In some circumstances, other types of membership may be considered for scientists
who bring a substantial contribution to the activities of a group without recruiting
patients into clinical trials (basic scientists, pathologists, and radiologists...).
Foreign membership may be considered for “temporary” affiliation
of an institution to an EORTC Group in the context of a specific clinical trial
provided that EORTC rules allowing foreign membership have been followed.
