ercim.eu - ERCIM changed top-level domain name

ERCIM has changed its "ercim.org" top-level domain to "ercim.eu". By chosing the .eu domain name, ERCIM clearly emphasises the European dimension of the organisation. ERCIM had registered its .eu domain name already when this top-level domain was launched in 2006. It was operational since then but redirected to the now historical ercim.org domain acquired in 1996.

This change concerns all ERCIM web sites as well as the ERCIM email addresses and mailing lists. Please update your links and bookmarks.
