PROGRAMMES

ECNC Network

The ECNC Network of institutes implements, together with the ECNC Secretariat, the work programme and annual work plans. This network is a vast reservoir of knowledge, data and experience.

Organizations supporting ECNC's work are welcome to join the network. Following approval by the ECNC Board, they sign a 'Memorandum of Cooperation' to help ECNC achieve its mission.

Currently the ECNC Network comprises 51 partners in 27 European countries.
