Announcements (November 2008)

HENRE to be the educational wing of the EFRS subject to final approval

The HENRE Steering group are pleased to announce that at the November 2008 meeting of the European Federation of Radiography Societies the following proposal was accepted in principle. Further activities will be taking place shortly between the 2 parties to finalise the arrangements for the establishment of the educational wing.

Joint proposal from the EFRS Board and the HENRE steering group.

To create an EFRS educational wing.

To create an EFRS educational wing by means of EFRS affiliated membership.
Universities and other educational partners already HENRE members will be formally invited to become affiliated member of the EFRS.
Non HENRE-member European Universities and educational establishments providing radiography educational programmes will be informed about this development and are entitled to apply for affiliate membership to join the EFRS educational wing.
For this educational wing an executive officer will be appointed with policy-making capacities for educational matters and to carry out all organisational aspects related to the activities and projects of the educational wing. This officer will be put forward by the HENRE Steering group for appointment by the EFRS Board and will work closely together with the EFRS executive officer.
EFRS member societies can delegate representatives in the activities and projects of the educational wing and EFRS educational wing members can delegate representatives with specific knowledge to EFRS projects with other aims than education.
All educational projects and related budgets will need the approval of the EFRS members and of the affiliated members in the EFRS educational wing.

Financial implications:

A separate budget will be created for the affiliated members in the educational wing.
This budget covers the fixed costs and cannot be exceeded. Any surplus will remain at the disposition of the educational wing.
Educational activities and projects will need external funding from EU and/or other third parties or from the educational wing members.
The annual fee for the affiliated members in the educational wing will be calculated following a similar calculation method as for EFRS full members. Two weighing factors are proposed.
A. The number of radiography students or in radiography related study at bachelor or diploma level.
B. The Eurostat index for cost of living in the country concerned.
The membership fee of EFRS affiliated members other than members of the educational wing will be calculated differently and will be part of the EFRS budget.
The budget and the fee calculation method for the educational wing will need the approval of the EFRS full and affiliated members. The EFRS treasurer is responsible for the fee collection and administration of the budget.
