EUCLID (Euclid University) is an open participatory program, as specified by the constitutional / participation MOU which is specifically called "OPEN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) BETWEEN THE PARTICIPATING EUCLID PARTIES."
Participation is limited to 7 countries between 2008 and 2015, with an allowance for pre-approved governments connected with the initial Euclid Consortium initiative, notably the Central African Republic.
As of April 2008, the limitation of 7 Participating Parties was lifted for specific applicants, and the Participating Parties are now:
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Americas)
- Sierra Leone (Africa)
- Uganda (Africa)
- Eritrea (Africa)
- Vanuatu (Asia - Pacific)

|
On the hand, the unique focus of EUCLID's programs and limited financial and faculty resources require that the benefits of EUCLID participation be limited to invited / eligible States (7 Participating Parties for 2008-2015), which are as follows: *
- East-Timor (Priority A)
- Senegal (Priority A, admitted February 2009)

- Suriname (Priority A)
- Palau
- Benin (admission in progress)

* list current as of February 2009 |
Official from other countries or international organizations should contact the Secretariat to obtain the current participation / invitation brochure. Specific IGOs have been notified of the initiation of the process following the Qatar ICCI conference of January 2008 and will be individually invited during the course of 2008-2009.
