As members can be admitted:

A distinction is made between full members and associate members, which is reflected in the amount of the subscription. Both full and associate members have the opportunity to participate in a defined range of activities organised by the Association.

Membership fees are set at the Annual General Meeting and are paid annually in advance. Withdrawal can be made at the end of the financial year. However, members may withdraw from the symbiosis immediately if provisions or the like are adopted which are of a fundamental nature for the member and which it has voted against in a prior vote.
