How it works

 
  • Express your organization’s interest by contacting Elena Shulman;
  • Once we receive notification of your intention, a meeting (face-to-face or virtual) of the subcommittee will be convened during which your interest and your organization will be introduced to the members;
  • A representative from your organization will be invited to present your organization and to officially apply for membership;
  • At the close of the meeting, a vote of the members will be organized;
  • You will be notified as soon as the result of the vote is established. If your application is accepted, your organization will be invited to pay its LRE membership fees. The yearly fee is 7,000 EUR;
