During the last common office the EraSME-Members decided to change the name into IraSME (International Research Activities for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises) to emphasize the international orientation of the network. The network endeavours to increase the size of its community and also find new partners not just in Europe but all over the world. With this step IraSME would like to extend the cooperation opportunities within the network. To make the alteration as comfortable as possible the network will only adjust the logo and the contact details including the homepage and email address. Concerning the services and working methods there won’t be any changes at all.
