EORTCQOL
EORTC group for research into Quality of Life
Membership
There are three categories of members: Full members, Probationary members and Corresponding members

Full members

Full members are actively involved in at least one of the Group's activities, e.g:

a. Module development;
b. An EORTC field study;
c. Other research activities of the QLG;
d. Providing advice to the EORTC on QOL assessment;
e. Serving as an officer on one of the Group's committees.

Full members are expected to attend at least one meeting of the QLG per year.

Probationary members

Probationary members are individuals seeking to become members of the QLG through active involvement in at least one of its activities. Probationary members may attend for one year. By the second meeting of that year probationary members are expected to have identified activities within the Group to which they can contribute, thereby proceeding to full membership. Probationary members who are not actively participating after one year are discouraged from attending further meetings except in special circumstances. Probationary members have no voting rights and are not allowed to attend the Group's Business Meetings.

Corresponding members

Corresponding members includes individuals actively supporting the EORTC approach to QOL assessment but unable to attend because of distance (e.g. NCI-Canada representative) or money (e.g. Eastern European colleagues). 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.
