European Rotaract Information Centre
Rotaract Europe
Rotaract Europe, officially known as the European Rotaract Information Centre
(ERIC), was founded in 1988 with the first European Convention (EUCO) in Antwerp.
Representatives from across Europe came together to establish a European Committee
and lay the foundation for what would become a continent-wide Rotaract network.
