ENVR is a generalist network, nevertheless
there might be specified topics on the working programme. Both, in case of
general issues or in case of specified ones, ENVR could function as a centre,
so when dealing with specific questions, Member States can delegate the
existing contact points or designate occasional experts dealing with the
particular subject.
The Network organizes two Expert Meetings in
each year, which are open for all Member States, and depending on the agenda,
for experts outside of the ENVR. The Expert Meeting will be the primary forum
for exchanging views. A seminar is also organized with the autumn Expert
Meeting in order to deepen discussion on a particular topic.
The events provide forum to explore challenges
in the implementation and the effective application of relevant EU legislation
and to find solutions by developing a common knowledge base with the aim of
better access to justice by victims in each Member State.
The exchange of documents and relevant
instruments is done by e-mail or by posting it on the website. The secure
interface of the website functions as a virtual conference space for
professionals to make the exchange of best practices available between the
Expert Meetings, and serves as a publishing tool for best practice,
methodology, questionnaires and research.
Indeed, since it has a permanent structure,
ENVR undertakes to conduct researches in order to contribute to the Union-wide
policy knowledge, the EU-wide policy making, and underline the good practices
across the EU.
