Our ADVISORY BOARD

The role of the Advisory Board is to be a circle of wisdom and support for AWoN.​

It serves as a link for the network to people with valuable insights, who can guide the development of AWoN, can be asked for feedback/advice, and who can serve as references for third parties and funders. The first Advisory Board was elected at the Annual Meeting in Budapest 2023 and will serve for two years.
