Membership

After ETH Zurich ended its support in 2017, former participants and organisers continued Cortona Week independently. The Association now gives that work a stable structure. Membership allows people who value Cortona Week to help govern and sustain it.

What membership enables

Annual membership fees support the work required throughout the year: planning future editions, communicating with the community and maintaining the archive. They also contribute to keeping participation accessible through tiered fees and scholarships.

What membership gives you

Once confirmed by the General Assembly, members can vote, stand for office in the board and participate in decisions about the Association’s accounts, statutes and membership fees. Members also receive programme updates and invitations to the General Assembly and other Association activities.

Ways to take part

Join the Cortona Week Association

Association members contribute an annual fee and, once confirmed by the General Assembly, participate in its governance.

Stay connected without a fee

Affiliated participants pay no annual fee and do not vote at the General Assembly. They receive Association news and invitations to community activities.

For ETH alumni

ETH alumnae and alumni may also join ETH Alumni Cortona Week within the ETH Alumni Association. This is separate from membership in the Cortona Week Association, and people may belong to both.

Fees are set in Swiss francs and can be paid in euros to the Association’s euro account; the numerical amounts are the same.

Membership is governed by the statutes of Cortona Week Association. They explain the Association’s purpose, organisation, membership rules and decision-making structure.
