Membership Requirements
Dear Colleague,
Thank you for your interest in a membership of the Club
Jules Gonin.
As our Club has a limited number of members, admission
is dependent upon retirement of active members. An applicant
for membership is required to fulfil the conditions set
out in the Bylaws before membership can be recommended
to the General Assembly by the Executive Committee:
1. In order to become a candidate for membership,
the applicant must:
- send his/her CV with three endorsements from
members of the Club to the Secretariat. The documents
must be received by May 1st of the year in-between
congresses (odd number year),
- have at least 5 recent publications in vitreoretinal
subjects in Medline listed journals with senior
authorship (1st, 2nd or last author) during the
past 10 years,
- after acceptance of the candidacy by the Executive
Committee, give at least one oral presentation
at a Club Meeting within 4 years.
The applicant, once accepted as a candidate, will
be automatically invited to participate in the meetings
of the Club Jules Gonin taking place during the 4 year
period of the candidacy. By participating in meetings,
the candidate can become acquainted with the Club, and
the members will have a chance to get to know the candidate.
If a paper or a poster is cancelled by the candidate,
it will not count towards eligibility for membership,
even if it is presented by a co-author. The candidate
must be present at the meeting as first author.
2. After the paper presentation, the Executive
Committee can propose a candidate for membership
of the Club once the following documents have been
received by the Secretariat:
- the full manuscript of the presentation, ready
for submission to a journal (word-file, or pdf-file
if paper already published)
- a reprint of his/her two most representative
papers (pdf-files)
- an updated CV and list of his/her publications
(word-file)
- an updated photograph (jpg-file)
A final evaluation of the membership will be performed
by the Executive Committee during the year following the
paper presentation. A candidate will not be recommended
to the General Assembly if two or more members of the
Executive Committee disagree to accept the candidate as
a member. The General Assembly will have the final vote
on the proposed membership at the following congress of
the Club Jules Gonin.
Please note: All documents (including the letters of recommendation)
have to be submitted in electronic format (word, pdf, jpg) to:
info@clubjulesgonin.com or
thomas.wolfensberger@fa2.ch
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Thomas J. Wolfensberger
Secretary of the Club Jules Gonin |
