In their own words

“As an informal network of Brussels-based non-profit R&I liaison offices, IGLO’s primary aim is to facilitate and enhance the interaction, information exchange and co-operation between Members of IGLO, their national research systems and the European institutions on issues related to EU research and innovation actions, in particular, the EU-Framework Programme for Research and Innovation and education programmes like Erasmus+.”

“The Membership for IGLO is open to non-profit research and innovation liaison offices with an official Brussels office and a clearly separated role from the permanent representation or mission of their country to the EU.”
