| Description: | On the 12th of December 2014, the president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker signed the decision that will allow the Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE) to operate as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). ERICs are truly international organizations in Europe that enjoy several administrative advantages and tax exemptions. The new status will allow JIVE to function (even) more efficiently.
JIVE has supported the EVN already for 20 years, and we foresee that it will continue this excellent job for many years to come. On 20-21 April 2015 there will be a science symposium followed by the inaugural ceremony. |
