About the ECNP Networks Board
The Networks Board plays a key role in guiding ECNP’s Networks. It oversees all Networks initiatives, ensuring a coherent strategic vision, inclusiveness, and smooth operations. The Board reviews requests for Network activities and membership applications. Additionally, it provides strategic recommendations to the ECNP Executive Committee (EC) on Network-related matters.
To align with the growing number of Networks and increasing workload and to maintain diversity, we are now opening a call for a third Network Board member.

The Board has 30 minute bi-weekly (online) meetings.
What is the composition of the ECNP Network Board?
The Board consists of the chair, who is the ECNP President-elect, a co-chair (Nic van der Wee) and a third member. The Networks Board works closely with the ECNP Office, which provides operational and strategic support.
What would the term of the third member be?
Three years with the possibility of a second-term extension.
