Benefits of Dual Memberships
Dual membership with the EPC and a national pancreas society offers members the best of both worlds — the close-knit community and local relevance of a national society, combined with the international reach, opportunities, and scientific programme of an international society like the EPC.
Through the EPC's dual membership agreements, eligible members can access the full benefits of both EPC and national society membership, making it easier than ever to engage with the broader European and global pancreatology community.
The EPC has signed agreements with the following national associations, which allow dual membership with the EPC (effective January 1st, 2025):
- German Pancreas Club (Deutscher Pankreasclub e.V.)
- Scandinavian Baltic Pancreas Club
- AESPANC (Spanish Pancreas Club)
- Sociedade Portuguesa de Gastroenterogia (SPG) (Portuguese Society of Gastroenterology)
- AISP (Italian Association for the Study of the Pancreas)
- Polish Pancreatic Club

How to Join
Please follow the instructions on the registration form for new members and be sure to select the "dual membership" box and the appropriate national society. Upon payment you will receive a dual membership certificate and your details will be sent to your national society.
Important note: Individuals who wish to become dual members with the Portuguese Society of Gastroenterology (SPG) must sign up on the SPG website. Your membership data will then be transferred to the EPC.
Can't Find Your Society?
We expect to add additional national societies in the near future. If your society is not listed above, we suggest you contact your leadership and inquire about the status of negotiations with the EPC.
