2.5 Membership

Members of the Society may be either corporate bodies with legal status, or individuals. Corporate bodies with legal status may join the Society in one of the following categories:

• Full members
• Institutional members
• Associate members

Full membership is restricted to societies, or similar bodies, primarily devoted to promoting research in pure or applied mathematics within Europe. Institutional membership is open to commercial organizations, industrial laboratories or academic institutes. Associate membership is open to all societies in Europe having a significant interest in any aspect of mathematics.

Corporate members can join the EMS by sending an application letter (in PDF format) to the EMS President and the EMS Office (ems-office@helsinki.fi) in cc. The application should include full name and a short description of the applying society or institution, postal address, responsible person (director) and his/her email and telephone number. Membership of full members is approved by the Council. Membership of associate and institutional members is approved by the EC (Statutes 3.4).

Mathematical societies outside of Europe with whom the EMS has a Reciprocity Agreement do not pay EMS corporate membership fees. According to this agreement, members of these societies can join the EMS by paying reduced membership fee and enjoy all the benefits as individual members of the EMS, except the hard copy of the EMS Magazine. Members of the EMS can also join the reciprocity member societies at a reduced fee. Reciprocity agreements are approved by the Council (Statutes 3.4).

Individual members can join the EMS by filling out the online form and paying the membership fees: https://euromathsoc.org/account/payment/membership-type. The membership is approved by the Executive Committee.
