How membership works
Start a conversation
Tell the Secretariat about your organisation, where you work and how your expertise connects to migration. Request the current application pack and intake information.
Submit and review
Submit the required institutional information through the channel agreed with the Secretariat. The Membership Review Committee assesses eligibility and makes recommendations.
Decision and orientation
The Executive Council takes the membership decision. Admitted organisations complete the applicable requirements and orientation before participating as members.
What membership does not include
Membership does not guarantee grants, contracts, paid participation or travel support. Individual experts may be invited as Technical Advisers or Resource Persons; this is distinct from institutional membership.

Bring the realities you see, the questions you carry and the expertise you can share.
