Membership and organisation
Membership is currently based on country representation, however members do not formally represent their country. Members have to be in a formal and active position to provide science-based strategic advice to their democratic governments. Members of ESAF are nominated by EU-member governments at the request of the European Commission. Members can have an alternate represent their country at ESAF meetings. ESAF membership is open to non-EU countries which are associated countries of the European Research Area. ESAF members decide on admission of a non-EU member country to ESAF membership.
Parties interested in joining or contributing to ESAF as a member or associate are welcomed to express their interest to the executive secretary (info@esaforum.eu).
