Membership in the EFGCP is open to professional organisations and individuals, representing patient groups, ethics committees, academic & industry research enterprises, regulatory officials, and those concerned to develop Good Clinical Practice in Europe. Through their expertise and support, the members enable the Association to remain a major interactive discussion Forum for decision-making in the fields of ethics and science in Good Clinical Practice. The membership fee enables EFGCP to communicate with its members, to organise and participate in European research projects, to organise its own Working Party activities, to develop educational content for international conferences, workshops and e-learning, to publish the outcomes of its research and meetings, and to ensure the smooth running of the EFGCP Secretariat.
