In subsequent years, the regular membership fee is invoiced. This is set at EUR 8,000 for 2025. The fee is set annually by the Steering Board and approved by the General Assembly.
As of January 2025, universities can join DVB for a reduced annual fee of EUR 1,000. (The initial fee is also EUR 1,000.)
As of January 2025, companies with annual revenues of less than EUR 3 million will pay a special “Micro” membership fee of EUR 1,000. (The initial membership fee is also EUR 1,000 in this case.)
