A reduced fee scheme is offered to encourage participation by laboratories in developing countries (see our terms and conditions). If deemed eligible by the EMQN Board, after joining EMQN your organisation would pay no fees for individual EQA schemes for the first three years (the annual membership fee is still payable). After that you would pay the usual fees. It is not possible to reapply for the scheme once the 3 year period has expired. If you think that your laboratory may be eligible for reduced fees please contact the EMQN administrator by email stating your case for a reduction in fees.
