The Membership Committee vets and approves
applications for membership of the Institute.
Each week, new applications for academic,
ordinary or institutional membership are sent to the Committee
which is chaired by Antonio
Borges, ECGI Chairman and comprises all members of the ECGI
Board. Academic membership applications are scrutinised by
the academic members of the ECGI Board. Institutional and ordinary
membership applications are scrutinised by the non-academic members
of the ECGI Board and Marco
Becht, the Executive Director.
Once a membership application has been
approved by the Committee, the Membership Secretary notifies the
applicant in writing together with a copy of the Institute's latest
credential pack.
Under the aegis of this Committee,
ECGI membership has shown steady growth - see the statistics below.
