EIF is an organisation of national associations of illustrators in European countries. EIF will defend the rights of illustrators and promote illustration within Europe.

The European Illustrators Forum is a voice for illustration in Europe. It provides a
platform for meetings and contacts between all European professional associations of
illustrators and image makers. It communicates the values of illustration and image
making and furthers exchange of knowledge and critical debate between professional
illustrators and their clients across Europe through conferences, exhibitions, research and
education. The European Illustrators Forum represents its members’ common interests by
liaising with the authorities of the European Union and other networks relevant to the
profession of illustrator.
