QLG membership

To become a full QLG active member, you have to:

• Attend 2 meetings within 2 years; at the third meeting you attend, you will become a QLG active member
• Be actively involved in EORTC Quality of Life Group research

To maintain membership, you have to continue with research activities and attend a minimum of 2 meetings within every 2 years.

If you wish to be a member, please contact us. Until you are a QLG active member, you will be registered as a QLG corresponding member, and you will be included in the EORTC QLG mailing list.

Some useful definition:

QLG active members are actively involved in at least one of the Group’s activities, e.g.:

• Module development
• An EORTC field study
• Other research activities of the QLG
• Providing advice to the EORTC on QOL assessment
• Serving as an officer on one of the Group’s committees

QLG active members can apply to be part of the Executive Committee.

Corresponding members include individuals actively supporting the EORTC’s approach to QOL assessment but who are unable to attend because of distance or cost. At the discretion of the Executive Committee, individuals interested in the Group’s work but unable to attend meetings may be kept informed of the Group’s work and invited to collaborate, e.g. in research, as appropriate.

Note: Individuals employed by an organisation with a for profit business model are not permitted to become members of the EORTC Quality of Life Group, nor are they permitted to be involved in any of the projects funded and carried out by the group.
