Become a member of Telecentre-Europe

For the last two years, Telecentre-Europe has worked informally with networks and organisations to promote digital inclusion across Europe. A voluntary “Steering Committee” has worked to develop opportunities and run projects.

At our Summit in 2009, delegates confirmed that we should expand the scale and scope of our work by formalising into a legal entity. The Steering Committee have worked since then to identify the best legal form and location for such an entity.

During the summer of 2010 Telecentre-Europe will become established as an AISBL – anAssociation Internationale Sans But Lucratif (a Non-Profit International Association), based in Brussels, Belgium.

The Steering Committee are now seeking Members for the organisation. At the point of establishment the Steering Committee will be dissolved. A managing Board will then be established in its place.

If you would like to further the aims of the organisation across Europe and have the drive to make decisions for the benefit of all members, then you could be one of our key Members. Join us in this exciting set up phase and become a Member of Telecentre-Europe.

So, what is a Member?

A Memberof Telecentre-Europe must be an organization representing a telecentre or a network of telecentres based in Europe. The Members will be invited to vote in the first General Assembly, to be held in Budapest, on 13-14 October 2010. The General Assembly will select the first Telecentre-Europe Board, which will run the organisation for the following two years.

After the first General Assembly and election of the new Board, Telecentre-Europe will open the full membership scheme for all other organisations interested in joining. Anyone will then be able to join as a Member with the same benefits, obligations and voting rights.
