New members
How can I become a member?
Which member category is the right for me?
According to your current professional status, you can view the available member categories here.
How long does the application process take?
If the application module and the relevant documents are submitted correctly, the application process should take approximately 5 working days to be fully finalized.
Please ensure you allocate sufficient time for the procedure to be completed before each deadline for events, scholarships, grants, courses, and other related matters.
I am a board-certified specialist in dermatology/venereology. Which category should I select?
- Board-certified specialists in Dermatology and/or Venereology are eligible for the (International) Fellow member category.
- If you are a board-certified specialist in Dermatology and/or Venereology under the age of 35, you qualify for the (International) Junior Fellow member category.
- For board-certified specialists in Dermatology and/or Venereology who have reached 65 years of age, the (International) Senior member category is applicable.
It’s important to note that specialists in Dermatology and/or Venereology do not require endorsers to apply.
I am not a specialist in dermatology and/or in venereology, is there a dedicated category for me?
Please review the membership categories section to determine if any of the described options align with your current status.
If you require further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
As a board-certified specialist in dermatology/venereology, is endorsement necessary for my application?
No, endorsements are not required for this application.
As a scientist holding a PhD in dermatology/venereology and engaged in full-time research in these fields, is endorsement necessary for my application?
No, endorsements are not required for this application.
As a trainee in dermatology/venereology, is endorsement necessary for my application?
No, endorsements are not required for this application.
Which categories require endorsement?
Nurse and Medical Assistant membership applicants must provide the name of one endorser, who must be an EADV (International) Fellow Member with voting rights.
For applicants seeking an (International) Associate membership (individuals interested in dermatology and/or venereology), two endorsers’ names are required. These endorsers must be EADV (International) Fellow Members with voting rights.
I require endorser(s) to complete my application. Who is eligible to endorse it?
Only (International) Fellow members with voting rights are entitled to endorse an application. Therefore, endorsements from other member categories, Fellow members without voting rights, or former members are not accepted. Endorsers are not required to be from your own country. So, if you have acquaintances or colleagues who are EADV members (board-certified specialists with voting rights) outside your working country, you can provide their names.
When do I receive my benefits?
After successfully completing your application, you will receive an email containing your member credentials and payment instructions. Upon settling the membership dues, you can register for EADV events (Congress and Symposia) at the member-dedicated fees. Upon approval of your application, you will gain access to all your benefits, including admission to the digital learning platform.
Is there a deadline to submit my application?
The sooner you finalize your application, the more you will gain from your membership during the year. If you are joining partway through the year, you will be charged the full annual membership amount. Applications for the 2024 membership will be accepted until September 20, 2024. Any submissions or finalizations after this date will be activated for the year 2025 instead.
Current members
How can I renew my dues for the new year?

Is there an official deadline to pay my 2025 dues?
As per the article 6 of the EADV Statutes, Membership renewal deadline is set on 31.01.2025. This means that your payment must be received (i.e., visible on the EADV account) at latest by 31 January.
What if I miss the renewal deadline?
If the payment is not credited to the EADV account by 31 January, on 1 February your membership will be disabled and you will have no longer access to your member benefits until the dues are settled.
A late payment by 3 September 2025 will enable you to restore immediately your membership (and take advantage from all benefits) but your voting rights will only be reinstated in January 2026.
