Our network

Active Citizenship Network (ACN) is one of the most widespread and flexible European citizens’ networks. In the recent years, ACN has been able to involve in its initiatives 206 civic, patient and user organizations coming from 34 Countries, plus 22 European/Global networks/umbrella organizations. Since ACN is not a juridical entity but an informal network with a variable geography, we like best to refer to ourselves as a “constituency”.

Active Citizenship Network’s constituency is extremely broad, contemplating associations with which we have signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding, entities with which we have formalized an agreement limited to a specific initiative, thematic networks we promoted, etc.

Also numerous are the formal and informal working groups and networks in which we are involved. Below is an overview of the heterogeneous composition of the "N" of Active Citizenship Network:
