ERINHA members
Simply put, ERINHA is its members. They provide crucial funds and access to their research resources to make our collective work possible.

What does membership mean?
ERINHA members are specialized laboratories from across Europe that join forces to study dangerous diseases safely. Each member contributes their facilities, funds, expertise, and leadership to our shared mission. Through their involvement in our General Assembly, members help guide ERINHA’s work and ensure we meet the highest standards of safety and scientific excellence.
Full membership
Full Members are organizations or institutions that have full rights and obligations within ERINHA. This includes voting rights in the General Assembly (ERINHA’s ultimate decision-making body) and a higher financial contribution to support the infrastructure’s operations. Full Members are typically deeply involved in providing high-containment laboratory facilities (like BSL-4 labs) and other resources to ERINHA’s research mission on highly pathogenic agents. They also play a key role in shaping ERINHA’s strategic direction.
Associate member
Associate Members have more limited rights and obligations compared to Full Members. They pay a restricted flat contribution fee and do not have the same level of decision-making power (e.g., they may have restricted or no voting rights in the General Assembly). Associate Members are often organizations that support ERINHA’s mission but may not provide the same level of infrastructure or resources as Full Members. They still contribute to the network, often by participating in research projects or providing expertise.
