Read the relevant documents, especially the EAI-MoU (Memorandom of Understanding (and the Statutes and the Membership Fees of the EAI) thoroughly.
Circulate the Memorandum of Understanding and, if you wish, the Executive Summary and the Invitation letter with relevant decision makers at your institution.
Deliberate if your entity wants to become a Core Organisation or Participant Organisation. The final decision about the form of membership of entities participating in the EAI rests with the Management Committee and, in case of disagreement, the General Assembly.
Contact the Management Committee via wgeppert@fysik.su.se. A simple e-mail is enough.
After positive decision by the Interim Board let the relevant person at your institution sign the Memorandum of Understanding.
Send the signed Memorandum of Understanding in 2 copies to:

Advertise the EAI at your entity and build a Local Group. Herein our leaflet might be useful.
Join us at the Biannual European Astrobiology Conference (BEACON) in La Palma Island, Canary Islands, Spain, at which the next General Assembly will be held.
Please note that EAI is a network of institutions, thus a membership of individuals is not possible. However, individual scientists and students from all over the world can join the Working Groups.
Working groups are in principle open to all interested scientists and students, but acceptance of new members is at the discretion of the Leader of the relevant Working Group. Memberships of Working Groups are free.
The European Astrobiology Institute (EAI) is hosted by The European Science Foundation
