Network
The EMIS project is run by a network of more than 80 partners across Europe. The network involves different players such as governmental public health departments, academic institutions, LGBT or HIV prevention NGOs, supra-national organisations, and social networks/online dating websites for MSM.
The EMIS project is primarily organised by a group of six partner organisations from five countries. These partners (Associated Partners) are official contractors with the European Commission. They co-fund the project and share responsibilities in realising the European project and in producing, analysing, and disseminating the scientific results. Certain scientists based at each Associated Partner work at least part-time on EMIS. All Associated Partners have access to their respective national data set and to the whole European data set.
