The '''European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics''', or '''ERCIM''', is an organization that aims to foster collaborative work within the [[Europe|European]] research community in information and communication technologies (ICT) and applied mathematics, and increase co-operation with European industry.
As a European Economic Interest Grouping, ERCIM links the resources of its members to create a force of over 12,000 researchers who can work together in groups on different areas of research.
ERCIM is the European host of the '''World Wide Web Consortium''' [[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]].
