This spring a total of 13 Network Meetings are going to take place in different corners of Europe. From western islands to southern ones, from northern cities to central and eastern European towns these Network Meetings will bring AEGEE members from neighbouring areas closer together and provide a platform for strong regional cooperation and knowledge transfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Network Meeting (or NWM in short) is a gathering of board members primarily from all the locals in the area of competence of a specific member (or assistant) of the Network Commission (Netcommie in short), open to all members of the network. Every Netcommie has the responsibility of organizing at least one NWM per year, and since Agora Istanbul, attending a NWM has become a new Antenna Criterion. The Network Commission is an internal organ that takes care of the network as a whole, with its 11 members, each in charge of a number of locals closest to their place of residence, offering support and assistance to their respective AEGEE locals.<\/p>\n

The NWM has an internal administrative focus, and deals with issues such as best practices, cooperation between locals and connection to the European Level. Very important topics to be discussed are the statutory events, Agora and EBM. The NWM can be either preparatory for the Agora\/EBM, discussing proposals, candidatures, common interests, current and future projects as well as a follow-up, putting together the ways to best implement the changes or direction recently adopted and decide upon the locals\u2019 contribution to the European Level relevant issues (such as the Focus Areas, the Strategic Plan \u2013 current and future \u2013 Flagship Topic, Flagship Project etc.)<\/p>\n

This spring\u2019s Network Meetings are taking place in: Kyiv, Warszawa, T\u00fcbingen, Sibiu, Bratislava, Schiermonnikoog, Abertawe, Lyon, Magusa, Novi-Sad, Catania, K\u00f8benhavn and Granada.<\/p>\n

The program of each Network Meeting has to be approved by the person in charge of Network in the Comit\u00e9 Directeur (usually referred to as Network Director). According to the needs of the locals as decided upon by the Netcommie and the Network Director specific trainings can be included in the program of a NWM, in cooperation or with the support of the Academy \u2013 Human Resources Working Group.<\/p>\n

The main topics of the NWMs include:<\/p>\n
