frequently asked questions about liminal membership and member activities

  • The Liminal membership fee is a mandatory contribution required from all members and associates. This fee is vital in supporting the association's mission and overarching goals, regardless of an individual's level of participation in specific activities.

  • Beyond the essential membership contribution, Liminal members are encouraged to engage in a variety of activities designed to support the community and fulfil the association's mission. We aim to cover as many direct expenses as possible through fundraising efforts and partnerships. Opportunities for involvement include:

    * Liminal Assembly: A gathering from June 27 to 30 with workshops, discussions on rural topics, and opportunities to present individual projects and research. Includes a dinner, three aperitif events, and local transportation, though travel and lodging costs to the venue are not covered.

    * Challenges: Research and on the ground learning opportunities that offer different level of coverage depending on the initiative, with specifics available on our website.

    * Liminal Embassies: Workspaces aimed at increasing member presence and facilitating exchanges, with the first embassy opening in the Monti Prenestini area.

    * Online Portal Access: Credentials provide access to a global network of members.

  • No, participation is voluntary. Members are free to choose the activities that most interest them, whether it's attending the Assembly, participating in Challenges, utilizing both opportunities, or engaging in other networking events.

  • The membership fee is a collective contribution towards the association's mission and is not considered a payment for services rendered. It is fundamentally different from commercial transactions, such as course registration fees, as it supports broader social objectives rather than providing individual service benefits.

  • Yes, members can host or participate in suppers aimed at gathering the community and inviting non-members to learn about Liminal. Additionally, we encourage members to self-organize activities, whether they are research projects or social gatherings. We invite everyone in the community to engage and make the most out of the organization's infrastructure.
