The Rural Network is a platform to gather and engage rural actors
We are a membership based network and the members are representing various organisations and authorities which are important for the development of the activities and companies based in rural and coastal areas.
Who can join the network?
We welcome all organisations and authorities working with, or interested in, rural development issues at a national level. Private persons and businesses working for profits cannot be members, but their organisations can. Added to that all LAGs and FLAGs are also members, though they do not operate at a national level.
How to become a member?
To be a member the organisation has to apply by using an application form available at the website describing their fields of interests and competences, and also the level of involvement they foresee:
active member willing to take part in thematic working groups and other activities
passive member attending meetings and receiving information.
The application is checked by the NSU, who then presents it to the Steering Committee with the additional information found about the applicant. The Steering Committee decides according to the rules if the applicant can be accepted or cannot. Sometimes additional information is requested by the Committee in order to be able to make a decision. There is no membership fee.
