Registration for SMM2025 İzmir opens

The registration for the forthcoming Autumn 2025 euroCRIS strategic membership meeting (SMM2025) to be held Nov 25-27 at the İzmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) in Urla/İzmir opened at the beginning of October. The registration page is linked from the SMM2025 event website. Registration for this meeting is free for local attendees coming from Turkish institutions as well as – as usual – for euroCRIS members, sponsors and strategic partrners. We are currently working on the event programme, for which there is already a draft on the SMM2025 website. The plan is to finalise the programme once the currently open call for proposals from euroCRIS members closes as of Oct 15th.

Dates for further online CERIF surgeries

Following a successful 90-min first online CERIF surgery held on Wed Sep 25th, the session hosts (CERIF leads at euroCRIS Jan Dvořák and Dragan Ivanović) and attendees (representatives from the PRC regional CRIS in Catalonia, the CRISalid project in France and the Universities of Bielefeld and Vienna) agreed it made sense to schedule further sessions to offer the euroCRIS membership an opportunity to discuss the way the CERIF standard is evolving. The next CERIF surgeries will be held at 2pm CET on Thu Oct 30th and Thu Dec 4th. The informal procedure for registration for anyone not having attended the fist session is the same one that was applied for the Sep 25th surgery, i.e. dropping a line to eurocris [at] eurocris.org expressing an interest to attend.
