Personal membership

Before applying for membership, please check which fee class you belong to. If you have any questions about membership or if you would like information material about the GDCh, our member service will help you.

Please note that membership is chargeable. You can find an overview of the contributions under Membership Fees and Section Fees.

Note: The assignment to a local section or to the corresponding JCF regional forum takes place automatically via the postcode of the shipping address you have selected. Payment modalities: If membership begins in the first half of a calendar year, the full annual fee is due. If you are accepted in the third quarter of a calendar year, the annual fee is reduced by 50%. If membership begins in the fourth quarter of a calendar year, there is no membership fee for that year.

Application for sponsoring membership

If you are interested in a supporting membership, we ask you to contact us by email at the member service.

Application for professional group membership

Please be sure to fill out both sides of the application. Information material on specialist group membership can be obtained from our member service on request. If you are interested in associate membership, please use one of the two GDCh applications listed above for personal membership.
