President Léopold Demiddeleer presents the new EIRMA Website

Welcome to EIRMA!

As you will see for yourself, EIRMA has decided to invest in a new website for its 45th anniversary.

The new “look and feel” includes more user-friendly ergonomics, an intuitive navigability and it will allow easier and more dynamic interactions. You will easily access areas of main interest like "EIRMA events", "EIRMA Announcements", "EIRMA Insight" or "Membership Benefits", to name a few.

While retaining the logo and colors of EIRMA, the architecture of the website, positioning of information, highlighting of the essentials has been completely restructured.

We have added new features and services such as online registration to EIRMA events, EIRMA Insights (a new concept for highlighting the quintessence of the events’ outcome for our members), videos and other testimonials from EIRMA members and the "Collaboration center", a dedicated area for members only. We have also reinforced our search engine.

We encourage you to make the best use of this tool, hoping that it will meet your expectations of the Association.
