"Recognition of the important role of RTOs in European R&D and innovation has increased greatly since the creation of EARTO. All RTOs benefit from EARTO’s important work in improving European policy and all can benefit from its support services to members. I invite all RTOs who are not yet members of EARTO to join now. Together we are stronger!"
