EIP EIP The "EIP" (Eerste Interventie Ploeg or First Intervention Team) is a group of people committed to improving safety in our UGent/VIB building. EIP-members have a proactive as well as a reactive task: the EIP will intervene in case of calamities, but they also act preventively. In case of an evacuation of the building, EIP-members are easily recognized by their yellow or red jacket and red helmet.
