With its Affiliated Societies (AS), ESCMID strives to both promote the wider interests of organisations and strengthen the already vibrant collaboration among worldwide experts and specialists in the fields of Clinical Microbiology (CM) and Infectious Diseases (ID).
To participate as an ESCMID Affiliated Society (AS), an affiliation agreement would first need to be signed, which is then subject to the ESCMID Executive Committee (EC) approval. AS are typically represented by their presidents. One of the great benefits of being an AS is the possibility to suggest topics for ESCMID Global congress programme sessions. You can also propose post-graduate education courses for the next year. To remain in the loop, members will receive ESCMID’s weekly newsletter. They can also share their own updates on events with ESCMID, to be published in the calendar of events on our official website. Invoices for the following fees are sent at the end of each year. Applicants should wait for approval of their application form before transferring fees
Annual affiliation fee:
< 100 members – EUR 100
≥ 100 and < 1000 members – EUR 250
≥ 1000 members – EUR 500
AS from low- and middle-income countries (according to the World Bank Classification) – EUR 50

The ESCMID Council is made up of international specialist societies under affiliation agreements with ESCMID. These members meet annually during ESCMID Global where the ESCMID President and President-elect provide updates on the previous year, while outlining the plans for the journey ahead. During this council meeting, participants can suggest feedback and pose questions with a common objective: to advance cooperation in promoting progress, education, and professional affairs in the fields of CM and ID, both in Europe and on a global scale.
