Two ways in.

Full member

For associations ready to take part in governance: voting rights, a voice at the AGM, and a duty to feed the registers. Annual fee €50.

Associate (observer)

For associations that want to support one mission, typically the registry, without governance duties or fees, returning to full membership when capacity allows.

Write to us about membership

Member associations are also encouraged to register in Orphanet’s directory of patient organisations, where families and clinicians across Europe and beyond search for support groups.
