Current events

The ERIH network was developed in the years 2003 to 2008 by eleven project partners, supported by the European Union (INTERREG III B - North West Europe).

For the continuation of the network´s work, ERIH founded in February 2008 a registered association based on German law.

In the meantime the number of members increased from 17 founder members to more than 140 members from 16 European countries.
