Innovation Partners
Innovation Partners are organizations which are involved in the object and activities of the association, but who are not selected according to the ENoLL selections process. These members pay the annual membership fee (€5000).
Through payment of the annual membership fee they get access to the ENoLL member activities, but no voting rights in the General Assembly. They also get full rights to act and represent ENoLL aisbl. They can submit candidatures for the ENoLL elected bodies (and have voting rights if elected):
- Council: Chair, Vice-Chairs, Treasurer, Secretariat
- Chairs for Working Groups
- Chairs Thematic Groups
- Living Labs
Accepted to grow members
Accepted to grow members are organizations that represent a Living Lab, which was duly selected according to the ENoLL selection process. During this selection process, accepted to grow member applicants provide ENoLL with a motivated application as a Living Lab. If the organization is not mature enough to be acknowledged as an adherent member but has a solid base to start from it will be accepted to grow. This means they will be mandatory linked to the capacity building program of ENoLL and they’ll be re-evaluated after 1 year.
These members are included in the ENoLL communication channels and have the right to be present and participate in the ENoLL activities. These activities – only open to ENoLL members are:
- General Assembly twice a year
- Working Groups
- Thematic Groups
Accepted to grow members do not pay any membership fees (only a 1 year administrative fee of €800, this already includes the re-evaluation fee of €300 ), and therefore have no voting rights in the General Assembly.
Adherent members
Adherent members are organizations that represent a Living Lab, which was duly selected according to the ENoLL selection process. During this selection process, adherent member applicants provide ENoLL with a motivated application as a Living Lab. If the organization meets the criteria set by the ENoLL association, adherent membership is granted to the applying organization. After 3 years a mandatory re-evaluation is needed to stay member.
These members are included in the ENoLL communication channels and have the right to be present and participate in the ENoLL activities. These activities – only open to ENoLL members are:
- General Assembly twice a year
- Working Groups
- Thematic Groups
Adherent members do not pay any membership fees (only a administrative fee at the beginning of their adherent membership of €1800 for 3 years, this already includes the re-evaluation fee of €300), and therefore have no voting rights in the General Assembly.
Effective members
Adherent members can choose to become Effective members and have a vote in the organization and strategic directions of the ENoLL association. Only approved Living Labs can become effective members. They do so by paying the annual fee (€5000), and gain the following rights:
- Full rights to act, represent and vote at ENoLL aisbl
- They can submit candidatures for the ENoLL elected bodies:
- Council: Chair, Vice-Chairs, Treasurer, Secretariat
- Chairs for Working Groups
- Chairs Thematic Groups
The General Assembly has all powers allowing the realization of the objects as well as of the activities of the association. All members: Effective, Innovation Partners and Adherent are invited to attend the Assembly.
Membership Application
By default, all ENoLL Living Labs are either Accepted to grow or Adherent members, but if an Adherent ENoLL Living Lab wishes to upgrade to become an Effective Member, or an organization wishes to support and participate in ENoLL activities, they contact ENoLL office (contact.network@enoll.org) to ask for the Effective membership application form.
The template includes among others:
- A copy of the registration as a legal entity
- The bylaws of the organisation
- A signed proxy for joining ENoLL aisbl
- The details for the contact person
- A list of official representatives who will be mandated to speak on behalf of ENoLL
The ENoLL Council will present these applications to the Evaluator Board and the ENoLL General Assembly, who can then approve them through fast track process. Once the Application approved, the applying organization pays the annual fee and thus becomes an associated or effective member.
