Contributions

Membership fee

• for Student members 30 €
• for ordinary members 70 €

The GK executive board asks all members to give a direct debit authorization (SEPA-mandate) for payment of the annual membership fee which is revocable at any time.
The membership fee is always debited from your account on the 1st July of the current year. Please inform us in time if your bank details change by email to the secretary (sf(at)gk-ev.de)

Members who have not given a direct debit authorization yet should independently transfer the fee to the account of the GK until the 1st July of the current year. You will not receive an invoice of the membership fee but will be remembered about the payment date via e-mail. The bank details can be requested from the treasurer (sm(at)gk-ev.de).
Since the fees are below 200€, a basic donation receipt is sufficient for tax purposes.
The GK is a non-profit organization, the membership fee is used for scientific support of societal activities and in no case for private economic benefits or salary of the steering committee. For more detailed information please see the statue (available in German).

Termination of membership:

If you would like to terminate your membership, you can send a mail or e-mail to the treasurer (sm(at)gk-ev.de).
Please consider the relevant deadlines: The membership can be terminated only until the end of the calendar year (see statute). The period of notice is the 30th November.
