and coordination body ensuring that the Network’s activities are coherent and complement each other.</p> <p>This organisational structure was used by the previous European Rural Networks, namely the European Network for Rural Development (<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/enrd/">ENRD</a>) and the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eip/agriculture/en">EIP-AGRI</a>) network. The ENRD and EIP-AGRI networks merged in October 2022 and are now part of the European CAP Network. The current structure builds on the <a href="https://enrd.ec.europa.eu/about/european-rural-networks-governance_en">positive experience</a> of the ENRD and EIP-AGRI networks.</p> <p>The members of the

<li>Research institutes active in innovation activities linked to projects run by EIP Operational Groups;</li> <li>EU-wide non-governmental organisations active in the field of agriculture and rural development at the EU level; and</li> <li>Organisations representing regional or local authorities active in agriculture and rural development at the EU level.</li> </ul> <p>In addition, three Subgroups of the Assembly will focus on thematic work with CAP stakeholders and EU Member States’ administrations regarding:</p> <ol> <li><a
