Our intention is to reach the most representative and broadest possible group of interested parties. This is why organisations and individuals can become members of Be-cause health. Member organisations can have both a public and private character.
As an individual
Please, apply to become a member of Be-cause health by sending an e-mail to the Be-cause health secretariat containing a short presentation of yourself, and your motivation and interest in becoming an active member in one (or more) of our active or ad-hoc working groups. Our working group coordinators will contact you as soon as possible. You can read the internal regulations (version November 2023) and our privacy policy for more information.
If you just have an interest in the activities of the network, and want to participate from time to time in activities the network organizes, just subscribe for our newsletter in which activities from or related to the platform, the General Assembly and the conferences of Be-cause health will be announced.
As an organisation
Apply for membership by contacting the Be-cause health secretariat. The Be-cause health Coordinator will contact you for a short introduction. You will be asked to submit a letter of motivation and conduct an ethical self-screening.
An Ethical Commission will evaluate the organisation’s compliance with the vision, mission, values, and principles of Be-cause health.
You can read the internal regulations (version November 2023) and our privacy policy for more information.
At any point in time a member can choose to end its membership. Therefore the member contacts the Be-cause health secretariat and is withdrawn from the membership list.
Every 4 years a member is asked to renew its membership. If a member does not renew its membership, the member is withdrawn from the membership list.
