The Advisory Committee (AC) is one of the most important governing bodies of C-EHRN. The major goal of the AC is to facilitate the fulfilment of the Network’s mission by developing and supporting policies, strategies and operational implementations. In a nutshell, the tasks of the AC involve:

1. To initiate the discussion on specific issues, related to activities and/or critical issues.
2.  To represent the Network at European, regional and national meetings and conferences, including the interaction with multilateral organisations and political bodies.
3.  To advocate and negotiate on behalf of the Network interests in the various working fields on European, regional, national and local level.
4.  To develop, implement, monitor and evaluate future plans, priorities, projects and activities of the network in consolation with various stakeholders in Europe.
5.  To review and decide upon the planning and execution of annual action plans.
6.  To provide technical guidance on the Network priority areas in relation to their specific field of experience.

Who is currently a Member of the Advisory Committee?

After this rotation, Tony Duffin (Chair), Perrine Roux, Daan Van Der Gouwe, Christos Anastasiou and Tuukka Tammi remain as Members of the AC.

Marianella Kloka, Alina Bocai, Péter Sarosi and Róisín  Downes will rotate out of the AC. C-EHRN would like to express its gratitude to these Members for all their commitment, contributions, support and passion for the Network in the past years.
