Membership within ICARUS is based on the principles of synergy and added value. An added value is already obtained by merely being willing and ready to support and participate in our activities. In order to admit everyone, who is motivated and willing to do so, we don´t impose any membership fees, as long as no financial advantage is gained by being a member.

Category A

In the event of a financial profit from participating in an ICARUS supervised project (funded by public or private sources), 5% of the funding are to be conveyed to ICARUS. In case an ICARUS member participates in an ICARUS supervised project, the obligation to pay the annual sum (currently 100 EUR) will be suspended for the time the project is running.
Partner networks are freed from any membership fee payment as long as the same applies for ICARUS.

Category B

Payment of an annual sum, fixed by the General Assembly (currently 500 EUR). No more financial obligations in the event of a financial profit from participating in an ICARUS supervised project (funded by public or private sources). In exceptional cases a reduction may be solicited. The respective decision will be made by the Executive Board.

The selection of the membership fee category takes place upon accession as indicated on the accession form. Modifications can only be made after 5 years. Modifications at an earlier point can only be made upon application and final decision by the Executive Board.

Associated Member

In extraordinary cases an institution can become an associated member, being part of the ICARUS community without paying annual fees. But associated members have no voting rights in the General Assembly and are not automatically part of project applications.
