The European Research Consortium was formally set up in 2020 to provide a platform for future studies on Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) and allied disorders and to encourage collaboration among interested parties and stakeholders, public or private, in order to improve awareness, knowledge, education in ITP and to improve the care of patients with ITP. HPF has created a specific bank account in the name of ERCI to gather all contributions intended to cover the costs of ERCI activities and projects: To achieve its aims, ERCI can apply for funding from EU or other national or international funding bodies or from other interested parties, commercial or not, through its Administrative Headquarters, set at the Hematology Project Foundation (HPF), a not for profit organization registered in Italy as Fondazione Progetto Ematologia, that will support ERCI activities at the lowest possible costs.

ERCI Members will not receive any personal payment. Transfer of money or goods can only be made to Members’ institutions or to other legally recognized not-for-profit organizations as will be designated by the Member before initiation of the pertinent project. Such contributions should be in proportion to the activity carried out for the execution of an action or a project. Members are not entitled to receive personal compensations from such institutions or organizations. ERCI Members could only be reimbursed of costs incurred for carrying out specific activities or duties or for participation to ERCI meetings or to other events on behalf of ERCI.
