ICC's New Membership Structure

Improved Benefits and More Flexibility for ICC Members!
ICC is most pleased to announce its new membership programme with improved membership benefits and more flexible membership options. In response to feedback from ICC members, during first half of 2009 a Task Group on Membership chaired by ICC President Prof John Taylor evaluated ways to improve member benefits and make ICC membership more flexible, so that as many people as possible around the world can be involved in the ICC family. To see the details please go to http://www.icc.or.at/membership.php

NEW: Four ICC Membership Categories for You to Choose from
More flexible membership options offer the perfect solution for you! With the addition of two new categories complementing the traditional ICC Country Membership and Corporate Membership, the new ICC Institutional Membership and the Individual Services Subscriber Package will expand the scope and the user friendliness of ICC’s services and special offering for ICC members and affiliates to the global ICC family. Starting with 1 January 2010 ICC will offer the following packages:

  • ICC Country Membership, with new additional benefits, lower fees and special discounts for low income countries!
  • ICC Institutional Membership, a new category with new benefits! An entirely new category mainly addressing research organisations, industry/trade associations, policy makers, (inter)national consortia working in the food and feed sector, research institutions, universities, publishers, etc. Institutional Membership offers additional benefits (compared to Corporate Membership) and voting rights in the ICC General Assembly. Two or more member institutions in a country, depending on the size of the country, can constitute an ICC Country Member with full membership rights and benefits.
  • ICC Corporate Membership, with new additional benefits!
  • ICC Individual Services Subscriber Package, a new category with new benefits!
Sign up today at office@icc.or.at and start enjoying the new benefits!

New ICC Country Membership Structure and Discounts for Low Income Countries
ICC Country Membership is the highest level of affiliation with ICC and bears special offerings, rights and benefits. It is the primary venue to influence the association’s activities and priorities and directly benefit from these outputs. Recently, the ICC General Assembly approved the re-structuring of the ICC Country Membership

  • by simplifying the categories with now three population based categories (instead of formerly 5 categories),
  • with new additional benefits,
  • with extended voting rights in the General Assembly,
  • with lower yearly membership fees, and
  • with additional discounts for low income countries (25% discounts for developing countries in cognisance of Per Capita GDP and HDI, based on the list of 2008). Qualifying countries for a discounted ICC country Membership fee can be found in the United Nation’s Human Development Index (HDI) list of 2008 as low and/or medium human development countries OR in the World Bank’s list of economies' income as low-income, lower-middle-income economies, and upper-middle-income economies. Making use of the discounted fee reduces the number of votes in the General Assembly, however an upgrading to become a fully paying Country Member is possible at any time and thus securing full voting rights.

NEW: ICC Institutional Membership
ICC Institutional Membership is an entirely new category mainly addressing research organisations, industry/trade associations, policy makers, (inter)national consortia working in the food and feed sector, research institutions, universities, publishers, etc. Institutional Membership offers additional benefits (compared to Corporate Membership) and voting rights in the ICC General Assembly. Two or more member institutions in a country, depending on the size of the country, can constitute an ICC Country Member with full membership rights and benefits. Current ICC Corporate Members belonging to any of the addressed sectors mentioned above may upgrade their membership to Institutional Membership at any time. For more information please go here or sign up today by contacting office@icc.or.at.

NEW: ICC Individual Services Subscriber Package

GF10 – Second International Symposium on Gluten Free Products and Beverages
It is our pleasure to invite colleagues from academia, industry and regulatory authorities to the ICC endorsed Second International Symposium on Gluten-free Cereal Products and Beverages, or GF10, to be held on 8-11 June 2010, in Tampere, Finland. The prevalence of coeliac disease is increasing, with up to two percent of western populations being potential sufferers. The disease is triggered by gluten, but it is still not fully clear which cereal proteins are the harmful ones. It is a major technological challenge for food scientists to design alternative gluten-free products of high quality. Another challenge is the rapid and reliable analysis of gluten so that the safety of gluten-free products can be ensured. The Symposium follows the inaugural event held in Cork, Ireland, in 2007.
