The Network Bureau
Made up of the main coordinators of 6 reference centres and of three representatives from the 23 centres of competence, this bureau decides which general strategy to follow and deliberates on how the main directions for the network are set up. The bureau meets every six months, twice a year.
Board of Directors
The executive governing board which includes all of the types of facilities belonging to FIRENDO (21 members), the board of directors meets every six months, twice a year. Its members deliberate on the network's activities and collect the opinions of the members of each of the organisations in the group. They are informed about Ministry of Health decisions concerning the future of networks and the structures they include.
Work Groups
The work groups are the real "think tanks" of the network: they think along the main lines of action. Each group has a couple of coordinators at its head. The groups meet up every one to two months, alternating face-to-face and remote meetings. In both cases the FIRENDO network covers the costs for web-conferences and travelling.
L’appel à participation est ouvert de façon permanente et repose sur le principe du volontariat.
