National Network

Greek Network

The Greek CAP Network is an evolution of the National Rural Network that was launched during the 2007-2013 programming period and is still operating with the support of the Managing Authority and external consultants.

The members of the Network will be able to exchange opinions and ideas on ongoing issues and needs that will arise during the course of implementation of the CAP Strategic Plan (CSP). This will be accomplished through participation in events, Thematic Working Groups (TWGs), experiential workshops, work meetings and other types of collaboration.
