IGUS : members
Full membership of IGUS is limited to experts from the OECD countries insofar as they are members of government laboratories and organisations, or scientists who are involved in research and are governmental advisers on a permanent basis. Other organisations (e.g. universities) may also apply for membership, under restricted conditions. Membership is open to scientists who fulfill the above conditions and only upon invitation by the chairman and/or the steering committee. Scientists from non-OECD countries may apply for membership as independents if similarly engaged. Parts of working group meetings are also open for experts from industry, after being invited by the chairman. Independents and industry representatives are not eligible for office.
Today, IGUS has members in 18 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Korea, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA. Currently, IGUS has three independent members.
IGUS is self-supporting, members costs are being borne by their institutes. Members participate at IGUS meetings as technical experts in their own right. They cannot commit their country's policy department in any way. A disclaimer to this effect appears in all records.
