These positions can only be hold by Alumni Members. However students will be eligible in case there are no alumni.

·       Liaison and working groups: each alumni and student member has the right to take part in any of the working groups and be part of the liaison group.

·       Contact Details: contact details of each member will be available to other members. Each member should make a decision whether his/her contact detail may be made public or not.

·       For the launching phase and the first three years of the alumni association, there will be a small amount of fund guaranteed by the EUMAS consortium.

·       Other means of funding will be also considered (eg. ESA, EC, Membership Fees, etc). Remark: Whether the membership fees (both from alumni members and student members) are charged will be decided by the committee in the future

6. External Relations

·       Advisory Committee whose members come from universities (eg. EUMAS consortium), industries, and others

·       A relationship with EMA , ECALAS, and other organization should be set up in the common professional background
