About membership
The EPDA has two types of membership: full (voting) and associate (non-voting).
- Full or ‘active’ members are Parkinson’s disease organisations based in Europe (or in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea) that are legally constituted according to the laws and practices of their countries of origin.
- Associate members may be physical persons or legal entities from any country, legally constituted according to the laws and practices of their countries of origin.
To apply to become an EPDA member, email your request (including your organisation registration number and a copy of your organisation’s statutes, translated in English). The EPDA Board will then review the statutes to ensure they meet the EPDA requirements.
Membership approval will be notified by email, after which the new member organisation will be requested to complete a new membership form and pay a membership fee (see links below). New members will be ratified at the EPDA’s General Assembly.
Fees for full (voting) membership
The EPDA membership fee structure has not changed since January 2006 and only relates to full (voting) members. Associate membership is free. The fees below are based on the number of members each organisation has in order to ensure transparency and fairness.
Membership fee bandings:
| Number of members | Fee (€ EUR) |
|---|---|
| 0–500 | 250 |
| 501–2,000 | 498 |
| 2,001–6,000 | 1,012 |
| 6,001–10,000 | 1,265 |
| More than 10,000 | 3,000 |
