Synergies between ERCIM Projects

ERCIM is participating in several research projects as coordinator or partner. In these projects ERCIM institutes and their partners carry out the research while the ERCIM office takes care of administrative tasks. As coordinator of several European projects and networks, ERCIM sees one of its missions to promote synergies among these different initiatives.
