As a member, you can benefit from the following services and projects:

• Participation in the Association’s activities and networking opportunities with European counterparts (Deans and Directors’ meetings and Annual Conferences);

• A formalised system of peer review designed to improve the quality of training programmes for public health professionals (Public Health Education European Review - PEER): this process can generate a real added value to your programme through an international evaluation by peers from other schools;

• An ASPHER Website (http://www.aspher.org) which gives information about our members, as well as access to many Public Health websites in the EU and in the rest of the world. Mention of your school in the members’ list on the Association’s web site with a link to your own web site.

• A series of publications, including a Monthly Newsletter to institutional members and the Internet Journal of Public Health Education (I-JPHE). Our Monthly Newsletter can also help promote members’ activities;

• Participation in projects.

ASPHER Members are listed in the alphabetical order of their country.

Who can become a member of ASPHER?
Institutional membership is open to institutions such as schools or faculties, departments or units responsible for education in public health within the European Region.

Steps involved in order to become a member of ASPHER:
Members’ adhesion to the association has to be accepted by the General Assembly (see below), and members must undertake to pay an annual contribution to the Association (see also below for details).

The procedure for becoming a member, as defined in our statutes, is as follows: "The requests for admission must be sent in writing to the Executive Director or in absence to the Secretary/Treasurer, who submits them at the closest General Assembly. The Executive Board may, before the closest General Assembly, decide to grant provisional membership and the members thus temporarily admitted are bound to pay the contribution as decided; they enjoy full rights except voting rights which will only be granted as soon as officially confirmed at the beginning of the General Assembly." (ASPHER statutes article 4).

Members have to pay each year a membership fee calculated on the basis of two parameters (size of their school in terms of EFT staff and GDP per capita of the country) as explained in the matrix below:

*Equivalent full time professional staff.
