However, these are restricted, i.e. no voting rights, no access to VIP lounge at the congress, no access to the online Web Conferencing tool, limited access to the Guideline Reference Centre and no rights to apply for EAN grants.

Unfortunately, this is not possible as these are two separate administrative processes.

For administrative reasons, reductions on congress registration fees are only possible if membership payments have been received before June 1st of the same year (i.e. before the congress). If you sign up for membership from June 1st onwards, we consider this ‘on-site’ and the same conditions apply as if you had become a member at the congress. If you join EAN in May you do, however, have the benefit of a 50% discount off your Congress registration fee for that calendar year.

If you become a member after the deadline for receiving reduced congress registration fee, you pay only 50% of the annual membership fee but do not receive a discount for your registration fee. If you become a member after September 30th, you will pay the fee for the following year and receive the remainder of the year free of charge. 

You might be eligible for Corresponding membership. Please check the information here. 

Please send an email to membership(at)ean.org. We will then delete your details from our membership database. You will continue to have access to your benefits for the remainder of the calendar year. Kindly note that we cannot reimburse membership fees already paid or parts thereof.
