The members of the IOI Board of Directors decided at their Board meeting in Toronto to continue the regional subsidy programme for the membership year 2018/2019.

The overall sum of subsidies to be released in 2018/2019 amounts to 42,000 Euro. The amount will be split equally between the regions (7,000 Euro per region) and will take into account that no subsidy granted should be less than 2,000 Euro.
