Our principles

MET is

• volunteer
• non-profit
• interdisciplinary

Volunteer

MET's primary aim is to provide a platform for members to share knowledge and expertise, and our events are organized on a pro bono basis. In accordance with the charter, members of MET's governing council receive no payment for their association work. They are supported by about 50 helpers who volunteer their time and skills throughout the year and at the annual conference.

Non-profit

MET is a non-profit association and has been registered with the Government of Catalonia Justice Department (Association Registry no. 31703) since 2006.

MET’s operating costs are covered through membership fees. Annual conferences are funded by registration fees and sponsorship. MET provides financial support for attendance at its events in exceptional circumstances.

Interdisciplinary

MET promotes contact and exchange of ideas between members from different disciplines. Efforts are made to encourage proposals for presentations and workshops covering the full range of disciplines represented by the association’s membership.
