New logo We felt that after 10 years it was time to take another look at our identity, which includes among other things our name, the look and feel of our website, our printed materials, and most importantly our message. Starting with the logo…

New name Where's the.net? Instead of eIFL.net, we are now EIFL We made the decision to drop the.net because we felt it was dated to the early days of the web as was the lower case "e" EIFL not eIFL.net

New strapline/tagline It conveys our mission by focusing on the end result -- knowledge without boundaries" encompasses the work of all our programmes; working towards removing all boundaries to knowledge, whether they be economic or legal or geographic
