Participation Fees
IPSEI applies a transparent and differentiated participation fee model, designed to ensure the sustainability, independence, and quality of the platform, while remaining accessible to a broad range of stakeholders within the global sport integrity ecosystem.
Participation fees are set according to the nature of the actor, level of institutional capacity, and scope of engagement with IPSEI’s Hubs and services. This approach allows IPSEI to maintain an inclusive structure, while ensuring that organisations and individuals benefit from a proportionate and fair contribution model.
All participation fees are charged on an annual basis.
The table below outlines the applicable participation fees by actor category.
