Membership connects individuals and organisations to the EFI dialogue network and provides access to a range of member benefits across EFI initiatives, including dialogues, resources, and preferential access to selected offerings.

Membership benefits remain active only while membership is current.

4. Membership Fees and Payment

Membership fees are payable annually and are published on the EFI website.

Membership is managed through an automated online subscription system. Payment is processed at the time of registration and renews automatically unless cancelled prior to renewal.

8. Member Conduct

EFI seeks to cultivate thoughtful, respectful, and engaged dialogue across professions and perspectives.
