Is it necessary to pay the EGOS membership fee in addition to the Colloquium fee?

Yes. Only “active” EGOS members are entitled to participate in the 38th EGOS Colloquium 2022. Therefore, participants need to pay both the EGOS membership fee and the Colloquium fee. The EGOS membership has to be valid at the time the Colloquium (July 5–9, 2022) is taking place. This means that the EGOS membership must have been paid before registering for the Colloquium.
The EGOS membership fee and the Colloquium fee have to be paid separately.
