ESSL membership

Membership types

ESSL membership can come in any of four flavours. Members can be organizations or persons, and they can either be full members or supporting members. Full ESSL membership has certain requirements which are outlined in our Articles of Association, but a supporting ESSL membership is open to everyone! Membership entitles you to use ESWD data, under conditions determined in a User Agreement or User Contract.

The following table summarizes it all.
