Become a member

If you are interested in becoming a member of the DNVF, there are the following possibilities:

  • Application for regular membership as an institutional member
  • Application for regular membership as natural person
  • Application for sponsoring membership

Full membership is generally open to legal persons or associations of persons working in the field of health services research on a scientific, technical or professional policy level, as well as to natural or legal persons whose activities are relevant to health services research.

Full members of the Association may apply for supporting membership. In addition, legal persons and associations of persons (e.g. companies and associations) who wish to support the association can apply for a supporting membership. As a rule, supporting members do not have the right to vote in the general assembly, only in the case of simultaneous full membership. Supporting members agree to comply with the code of conduct for supporting members.

 

Sponsoring membership can be applied for by a) full members of the association or b) legal entities and associations of persons (e.g. companies and associations) wishing to support the association may apply for sustaining membership. Normally, sustaining members have no voting rights in the general meeting (only in the case of simultaneous full membership). Sponsoring members pledge themselves to comply with the Code for Sponsoring Members.
