TMUG
What is TMUG?
TMUG is the ToSIA Management and User Group. Any organisation interested in using and maybe even further improving ToSIA (an innovative, do-your-own-scenarios Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment) for its further use, dissemination and development is welcome.
Functions of TMUG
The main purposes of TMUG are to:
- maintain and promote the further development of the ToSIA tool and data;
- facilitate the information flow between the members;
- define the means and conditions by which organisations can have access to ToSIA;
- keep a record, as far as possible, of development work regarding ToSIA Deliverables.

How to become a TMUG member?
The procedure for joining TMUG (ToSIA Management and User Group), with which you get access to the ToSIA tool and space on our ToSIA database server is easy:
- In order to join, your department head needs to sign the TMUG MoU (ToSIA Management and User Group Memorandum of Understanding) and send it to the TMUG Coordinator (tosia@efi.int) as a digital and as a paper copy.
- Along with the TMUG MoU send a short introduction of your institute and a letter of motivation why you want to join TMUG and what your plans in using and/or developing ToSIA are.
- This information will be shared among the TMUG members who then vote on your acceptance to become a TMUG member.
- When you are accepted, you get access to the TMUG-member webpages. There you have access to the latest ToSIA version, extensive background information and documents, an active ToSIA user community with whom to exchange experiences and ideas, etc
