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]]. ==Missions== * Advice on IT strategy to the European Union and Member States; * Preparation of ICT research proposals across the European Framework Programmes; * Financial and administrative management of subsequent research projects; * Support to European working groups, set up by IT subject area; * Coordination of the pan-European ''Alain Bensoussan Fellowship Programme'' for young IT researchers; * Annual nomination of a promising young researcher in computer science and applied mathematics through the ''Cor Baayen Award''; * Publication of the quarterly ''ERCIM News'' magazine. ==Members== Leading research institutes from nineteen European countries are members of ERCIM: * [[Austrian Association for Research in IT|AARIT]] Austrian Association for Research in IT, in Austria * [[Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche|CNR]] Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, in Italy * [[Czech Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics|CRCIM]] Czech Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, in the Czech Republic * [[Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica|CWI]] Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, in the Netherlands * [[Danish Research Association for Informatics and Mathematics|DANAIM]] Danish Research Association for Informatics and Mathematics, in Denmark * [[Fonds National de la Recherche|FNR]] Fonds National de la Recherche, in Luxembourg * [[NFWO|FNRS]] & [[NFWO|FWO]] Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique & Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, in Belgium * [[Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft]] in Germany * [[Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas|ICS-FORTH]] Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, in Greece * [[Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique|INRIA]] Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, in France * [[Irish Universities Association|IUA]] Irish Universities Association, in Ireland * [[Norwegian University of Science and Technology|NTNU]] Norwegian University of Science and Technology, in Norway * [[Polish Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics|PLERCIM]] Polish Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, in Poland * [[Swiss Association for Research in Information Technology|SARIT]] Swiss Association for Research in Information Technology, in Switzerland * [[Swedish Institute of Computer Science|SICS]] Swedish Institute of Computer Science, in Sweden * [[Spanish Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics|SparCIM]] Spanish Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, in Spain * [[Science and Technology Facilities Council|STFC]] Science and Technology Facilities Council, in the UK * [[Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Számítástechnikai és Automatizálási Kutató Intézet|SZTAKI]] Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Számítástechnikai és Automatizálási Kutató Intézet, in Hungary * [[Technical Research Centre of Finland|VTT]] Technical Research Centre of Finland , in Finland ==External links== *Official ERCIM Web Site: [http://www.ercim.org ERCIM website] *ERCIM News: [http://ercim-news.ercim.org ERCIM News] {{edu-org-stub}} {{gov-stub}} [[es:European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics]] [[fr:European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics]] [[pl:European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics]]
