EMB Member organisations are nationally representative institutes which can be based in any of the 46 Member States of the Council of Europe.
There are three eligible membership types:
- Research performing organisations are major national marine or oceanographic institutes.
- Research funding organisations are national research funding bodies which also fund marine topics;
- University consortia are national- or regional-level consortia of organisations with a strong marine focus, the majority of which are universities.
EMB Membership is made up of 17 research performing organisations, nine research funding organisations and nine consortia. These consortia represent a total of 114 organisations, 87 of which are Universities.
