Institutions are given the opportunity to pay an institutional membership permitting to nominate representatives to the GCIRC General Assembly and giving access to the GCIRC information for their staff. The institutional membership is open to all organizations, either public, representing collective sectorial interests or totally private.

- The institution has full liberty to nominate the corresponding number of representatives and will nominate at least 1 in any case.
- The representatives have the same rights as any individual member, including participation to the GA or the capacity to be candidate and be appointed by the GA as GCIRC Board member.
