The European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet) is a partnership network of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and its 39 member and cooperating countries. EEA and Eionet gather and develop data, knowledge, and advice to policy makers about Europe’s environment.
Overall, Eionet consists of the EEA and circa 400 national institutions from 39 countries, with expertise in environmental issues, and eight centres of thematic expertise contracted by the EEA, called European Topic Centres (ETCs).

NFPs facilitate and coordinate networks of national experts involved in national activities related to the EEA work programme.
