How to apply

FIGO Trustees review applications. Assuming they are supportive, applications are reviewed by the FIGO Council at its annual meeting.

Applications found to comply with FIGO’s regulations and objectives will be submitted by the FIGO Council to the FIGO General Assembly, with a recommendation for official ratification.

The General Assembly takes place every two years at the FIGO World Congress.
