Membership

Who can join our association?

Anyone can join our association. However, the members are divided into two groups: ordinary members and associate members. The board or general meeting admits the new members.

  1. speak and vote at the meetings of the association
  2. speak at the meetings of the board
  3. stand for a position/member of the board/ officials 

Associate member  A person who is interested in environmental science. An associate member has almost the same rights as the ordinary member but you can’t be chosen to the board nor vote at the meetings of the association.
