About
A European network since Antwerp
Rotaract Europe was founded in 1988 at the first European Convention in Antwerp. Representatives from 15 countries formed the first European committee.
1988
E.R.I.C. is founded. The first committee brings together Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey.
1993
Rotary International recognises E.R.I.C. as a multi-district information organisation, the first international MDIO.
Now
Country representatives from across Europe form the General Assembly. They elect a board each year to run events, service, partnerships, and communication.
What the network is for
Foster friendship
Give Rotaractors a reason to cross a border and stay in touch afterwards.
Create impact
Back service projects that are stronger because more than one country is in them.
Strengthen Rotary
Keep Rotaract and Rotary International in the same conversation.
The year, in three rooms

REM, winter
January. The second regional meeting. The presidential election is held here.
