The Council decides the annual membership dues. The Institutional Members. Institution/Industry members have the right to participate in the council meeting but no voting rights. The Institutional Members are represented with voting rights in the Council by electing one representative of the academic institutions or non-profit organizations and one representative of the industrial or corporate organizations. The representative’s term is two years.
The representatives in the Council are for academia and NON-profit organizations: Christophe Gaudet-Blavignac <christophe.gaudet-blavignac@hcuge.ch>; and for Industry: Jacob Hofdijk<jhofdijk@gmail.com>.
Both were elected during an online meeting in June 2021. This year we strive for a new approach to recruiting new IM and working closely with our country councils to bundle memberships locally and on a European level. The process is to create benefits based on the core EFMI values represented by the scientific work and the network of researchers, EFMI conference attendees, members of Working Groups, and other friends of EFMI. 2022 is the year for Informatics.
Those values will be coordinated with the local EFMI representative member organization when possible. This will be done by faster finding and sharing knowledge and promoting relevant context/solutions to Clinical staff. Both from Institutions as well as SMEs/industries.
