Membership - Primenetworking [EN]

PRIME NETWORKING engages in membership cooperation and project partnership. Members include universities, state authorised institutions of higher education which offer a bachelor's degree or the equivalent as well as interface institutions, linking universities and enterprises. Associate Members are professional bodies and adjunct partners involved with university education or universities and interface institutions that have been committed to the PRIME NETWORKING for up to two years. Institutions are represented by their PRIME NETWORKING Responsible Leaders – who are nominated by their institutions.

Project Partners are institutions that wish to cooperate with PRIME NETWORKING activities, but either prefer partnership or are not eligible for membership according to the designated criteria. Since Project Partners are offered the same services as (associate) members they also have to pay the annual subscription fee.

If you are inspired by the activities of our network and would be interested in joining PRIME NETWORKING, and

you already cooperate with one of our member institutions
you are preferably from a country which is not yet represented in our international network
and you fit the criteria of membership described above

... then, please, read How to become a member?

To become a PRIME NETWORKING member an institution has to fit the criteria of membership (see above Members / Associate Members) and is preferably from a country not yet represented in the network (Article
5.5 of Prime Networking statutes).

A new member needs to be invited by an existing PRIME NETWORKING member. The inviting PRIME NETWORKING member sends an application to the Managing Director informing the association about the application request. The full name of the applying institution, contact data and the name of the person who shall initially represent the new PRIME NETWORKING member shall be indicated. It may be required to enclose a copy of the statutes of the applying institution.

New members will start as associate member, becoming members if they have been committed to the PRIME NETWORKING association for at least 2 years (Article 5.3 of Prime Networking statutes).

Associate members shall have the right to participate in the activities and meetings of the association in an advisory function (Article 5.4 of Prime Networking statutes), but only members are eligible to vote.

The number of members is unlimited but shall not be less than five. All members shall have the rights and privileges provided by Belgian law where the association is registered.
