Rome, 20 - 23 October

Green Spider Annual Meeting

20-23 October 2004, Rome - Italy - Via Curtatone 3 - APAT
The Green Spider Network was established in 1995 and is supported by Environment DG of the European Commission. It is an active network of around 50 representatives from environment ministries and national environmental agencies/institutes, who are involved in environmental information and communication, in almost all European countries (EU Member States, Accession countries and others that fall outside of these two categories). One of their main aims is to promote relations between the EU administration and national institutions and to provide a platform for the exchange of information and experience in the field of environmental communication. The Green Spiders meet once a year in order to exchange professional knowledge. Previous annual meetings have focused on topic such as EU enlargement, the role of NGOs in communicating environmental information, and communicating Natura 2000.
