Country Groups used for Membership Fees and Participation Fees (valid 2025-2027)

The European Choral Association applies a solidarity system for membership fees as well as participation fees for cooperation events of the European Choral Association and events under its label. The system is based on the index of the International Monetary Fund and is reviewed every three years.

The list below only shows European countries plus Israel. For other countries outside Europe we refer to the Membership Groups used by IFCM based on the UN Human Development Index (find here the index used by IFCM) with:

• all countries belonging to the IFCM HDI group 1 belonging to country group 1 of the European Choral Association
• all countries belonging to the IFCM HDI groups 2 and 3 belonging to country group 2 of the European Choral Association
• Country Group 3 being reserved for European countries
