Become an Observer Member
Join EFG’s vibrant community of national associations to amplify the voice of geologists at the European level.
Our Observer members include National Professional Organisations, National Professional Registers or National Associations from Europe that are considering becoming Full members in the future. Their principal aims are to advance and promote the geology profession and the professional interests of geologists across various areas of expertise. The duration of Observer membership is initially limited to 5 years, but a reapplication is possible after this period.
Why become an Observer member of the European Federation of Geologists (EFG)?
