Types of Membership


LuCE provides three types of memberships: Full, Associate, and Individual. Full Members are non-profit lung cancer groups focusing on patients in the WHO European region; they can vote, propose projects, attend meetings, and hold Executive Board positions. Associate Members, also non-profit groups, lack voting rights but can suggest projects and attend meetings, with limitations on board representation. Individual Members, including patients, caregivers, or healthcare professionals interested in lung cancer, share similar rights to Associate Members, without having voting privileges and with board representation restrictions.

Learn more about the details of each type of membership below. More details can be located in the Articles of Association of Lung Cancer Europe (LuCE).
