EUROGEO plays a vivid role during these days. By the end of the three to four days we wind up with a plenary session called the Meeting of the Conference of INGO’s. All agenda’s and synopsis of the meetings can be found on the website of the Council of Europe under Conference of INGO’s. www.coe.int

 

EUROGEO uses these meetings to contribute, disseminate the existence of our organisation and to lobby and network with other organisations. Any member of EUROGEO who is interested can always join in.
