EGN Structure
The European Geopark’s Network has formed two operational structures. The Coordination Committee is responsible for the operation and management of the Network while the Advisory Committee gives advice on the development and expansion of the Network within high quality standards.
A Co-ordinator and Vice Co-ordinator are elected by the Coordination Committee members in order to support the Network’s activities in-between two successive Coordination Committee meetings.
The Coordination Cellule of the network is located at the Reserve Geologique de Haute-Provence in France
Coordination Committee Members
The Coordination Committee is the only decision making committee of the EGN. The Coordination Committee is made up of two representatives from each partner in the European Geopark Network The CC meets regularly, at least twice a year, each time in a different geopark, to discuss the Network’s progress. The Coordination Committee examines applications for European Geopark status and is solely empowered to grant such status to the applicant zone.
