How to join

Membership Fee
Annual Membership fees for Member Societies depend on the number of their members: 2026 fees are based on 1,576€ per individual member of a Member Society, the amount is adjusted each year consistent with inflation in Europe as published by Eurostat (Harmonized Index of Consumer Prizes).
Permanent Members of Council (DMG, Météo et Climat, RMetS) pay an additional contribution of 3000€ annually.
Membership fees for Associate Members vary with the number of staff and also depend on the observer status at Council. Generally fees vary from 255€ for organisations with up to 10 employees, to 1280€ for organisations with 40 and more employees, annually. Organisations with Permanent Observer status pay higher contributions.
Starting in 2026, these contributions are also adjusted annually, following the same Index of Consumer Prizes as for the Member Societies (see above).
