Membership

How to apply for membership

The current member regions of the DC Network decide on the application of new members. They are assisted by Flanders DC, who is the coordinator of the network. The network aims at being as geographically diverse as possible. The DC Network aims to have no more than two third of the member regions from the same continent and limits the number of members from the same country to three.
