The professional membership program in EPN encourages members to engage in lifelong learning through participation in workshops, lectures, seminars, and conferences organized by the Arab Network and the Arab Foundation for Science and Technology.

**Important Notes:
General membership does not require accredited training hours.
The official and accredited organization for training EvPT members is the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (crcCARE) in Australia, under the agreement signed between the Arab Science and Technology Foundation (ASTF) and crcCARE.
crcCARE provides attendance certificates that include the number of training hours completed by the participant.
Certificates issued by crcCARE are accepted as accredited by EPN-ASTF as part of the membership requirements.
crcCARE’s role is limited to training and issuing attendance certificates, while the EvPT program within EPN is responsible for evaluating the competency of applicants for professional membership. The role of the Arab Science and Technology Foundation (ASTF) is to issue professional membership certificates based on the conditions outlined in the application process.
“The EvPT program accepts training hours provided by other organizations if those organizations are internationally CPD accredited.”
The EvPT program grants accredited training hours for conferences and training events based on its internal criteria and under the supervision of ASTF. These hours are accredited within the scope of the foundation and EvPT, and can be used for applying for or renewing EvPT professional membership.
Organizations seeking to obtain accredited training or accreditation for their conferences and events as accredited training hours under the EvPT Program are invited to contact us via email at evpt.epn@astf.net.
Once an event is approved, organizers will be authorized to use the EPN Logo in their promotional materials.
The Arab Network for Addressing Emerging Environmental Pollutants (EPN) is a pioneering initiative aimed at addressing the environmental challenges related to emerging pollutants in the Arab region through enhancing regional and international cooperation and providing sustainable solutions.
