Join BIEM

BIEM is delighted to welcome new societies to its global network.

First, it is important to note that BIEM membership is limited to societies managing the mechanical reproduction right.

Any mechanical right society wishing to become a member of BIEM is invited to send a formal application to the Secretariat together with the supporting documents (see list below). The complete application should be submitted two months before a meeting of the Management Committee to ensure optimal processing of the application.

The Management Committee may decide on the admission of a society as non-voting member, but will, after examination, submit to the General Assembly, eligible application for admission as voting member.

The General Assembly, which is held in the second quarter of each year, will endorse the decisions of the Management Committee on the admission of non-voting member and, on the basis of the recommendations, accept or reject applications for admission as voting member.

BIEM undertakes to review and assess each new membership application impartially and objectively..
