Corporate Membership fees

Corporate Sustaining Membership is available to companies, educational institutions, government and private scientific laboratories or agencies, or any organization involved in cryogenics or a related field. Corporate members may decide to sustain the CSE with one of the following fee categories:

• Corporate member – non profit: 300 €/year
• Corporate member – small enterprise: 300 €/year
• Corporate sustaining member, regular: 600 €/year
• Corporate sustaining member SILVER: 1200 €/year
• Corporate sustaining member GOLD: 2400 €/year

Although it would be desirable that corporate members register with a fee level appropriate to their size (less than 10 employees = small enterprise, very large companies SILVER or GOLD sustaining membership) , the choice of the membership level is free and up to the applicant corporate member. Sustaining members SILVER and GOLD will have additional privileges, also in terms of visibility.

Members can enter the Society at any moment and need to pay an annual fee, as specified above. In the first year of membership, the fee will be starting at the first day of the quarter following enrollment and is in proportion to the remaining part of the calendar year. Membership can be stopped by written (or email) notice of termination by the member. Notice of termination may be given at the end of the calendar year, with a notice period of at least four weeks.

The Board can grant relief from the obligation to pay a contribution fully or partially to members in special situations.
