ESCMID abides by our Articles of Association and Bylaws, which guide the way we function and how we are managed. Additional operating procedures exist to help inform a standard practice for how certain aspects of ESCMID should run, for example support for external scientific events or the organisation of ESCMID Study Groups (SGs). ESCMID also expects all members to abide by the Code of Conduct, so all peers can share a sense of mutual respect.
