Structure and Organisation

The Society consists of, and is managed by, the following groups:

  • The General Membership

  • The Executive Committee
  • The Divisions: Scientific Affairs, Professional Development and Administrative Affairs

General Membership

Besides profiting from the various benefits ESICM offers, many members actively participate to help shape the Society and to move its important initiatives forward.

Besides profiting from the various benefits ESICM offers, many members actively participate to help shape the Society and to move its important initiatives forward.

Scientific Sections

The base for many activities is formed by ESICM’s scientific sections. Currently, 13 topical scientific sections exist, focusing on differing areas within the discipline, such as Respiratory Failure, Sepsis, Ethics, among others.

Working Groups and Healthcare Professionals

In addition, there are a number of active Working Groups, which gather members across sections to work together on scientific and educational initiatives. Nurses and Allied Healthcare Professionals are represented in ESICM through the N&AHP Committee, which is active at all levels of the organisation.

Council and Influence

The Council influences and controls decisions on all levels of the Society’s affairs. Its national and international delegates reflect the regional and geographical reach of the Society.

Divisions and Committees

The Divisions of Administrative Affairs, Scientific Affairs and Professional Development consist of several committees and subcommittees and organise the various activities of the ESICM, such as congresses, research activities and training programmes. The divisions are coordinated and led by the Executive Committee, which is responsible for all business issues of the Society.

General Assembly

The General Assembly takes place each year during the annual congress. All ESICM members are invited to participate. It is the occasion whereby the Executive Committee reports on the business activities of the society. The General Assembly has moreover the duty to vote about acceptance, or rejection, of proposals, such as statute changes.

ESICM Statutes

The first Statutes of the Society were written in March 1982 at the foundation meeting held in Geneva at the WHO (World Health Organisation). The latest version is available here:

The Statutes are accompanied by the Standard Operating Procedures of the Society, which contain additional information, as well as Internal Operating Instructions: they describe in detail important information about the daily work of the Society and include descriptions of committees, positions and procedures.

ESICM Office

ESICM’s permanent administrative office is located in Brussels, Belgium. The office is managed by a Chief Executive Officer, appointed by the Executive Committee and directed by the ESICM General Secretary. The Brussels office staff are responsible for the daily work related to all the Society’s activities.
