European Rail Infrastructure Managers (EIM) was established in 2002 following the liberalisation of the EU railway market to promote the interests of all rail infrastructure managers in the EU and the EEA.

Based in Brussels, the European Rail Infrastructure Managers (EIM) is registered as an international, non-profit association under Belgian law. It is one of 10 European railway organisations recognised by the European Commission as a ‘representative body from the railway sector’. As such, EIM supports the work of the European Union Agency for Railways (former ERA) in various working groups and occupies a seat on its Administrative Board.
