At pre­sent, the EEUG As­so­cia­ti­on has about 200 mem­bers, which are com­po­sed of uni­ver­si­ties and com­pa­nies in equal pro­por­ti­ons. As ex­plai­ned in the pa­ra­graph § 2 “Pur­po­se” of the Char­ter, the as­so­cia­ti­on will act pri­ma­ri­ly as a com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on cent­re for its mem­bers. Any In­sti­tu­ti­on that is wil­ling to join the As­so­cia­ti­on must have a valid li­cen­se for the use of ATP-EMTP pro­gram. Li­cen­sing means the Ap­pli­cant agrees with the li­cen­sing term by si­gning Li­cen­se Agree­ment.

 

The ATP-EMTP pro­gram is not a pu­blic do­main soft­ware and it is availa­ble via pass­word pro­tec­ted EEUG file ser­ver. Prin­ted ma­te­ri­als (Rule Book, Theo­ry Book, User Ma­nu­als) can be or­de­red from EEUG by fil­ling in the ap­pro­pria­te Order Forms.

 

An­yo­ne who got a li­cen­se may sub­scri­be to the ATP-EMTP Mai­ling List in In­ter­net, con­nec­ting about 2000 ATP users all over the world. The mai­ling list as well as EEUG file ser­ver which en­ables li­cen­sed users to down­load ATP re­la­ted ma­te­ri­als are ope­ra­ted by the EEUG.
