UIA Active Members are individuals who have an interest in international organizations and in the work of the UIA, and who have contributed significantly and over a long period to the international organization community. As trustees they further the interests of the UIA each in his or her own sphere of activity.

UIA asks that its Active Members

• Promote the work of the UIA in their professional networks and fields;
• Contribute to the work of the UIA where and as its needs and their knowledge and skills match;
• Stay informed of UIA’s activities by reading the Secretariat’s quarterly and annual reports;
• Participate in the General Assembly (held every two years in Brussels) either in person or by proxy.

There are no fees involved. UIA Active Membership is an honorary and – we trust – honorable position.

• Access to the Yearbook of International Organizations Online and the International Congress Calendar Online for research projects which benefit the UIA
• Collaboration opportunities on mutual projects with the UIA
• An invitation to participate in UIA's Associations Round Tables
