Members are National River Restoration Centres, others are Topic Centres. A National or Topic Centre can be anything between a small NGO and a formal institution. A National Centre represents the diverse array of river restoration actors in its country, i.e. practitioners, researchers and other experts. In order to qualify as a National Centre with the ECRR, the organisation needs to be considered broadly as a proper institution to act as such for that specific country (supported by referral by the appropriate ministry), and needs to be willing to participative actively in the organization of ECRR activities. Topic Centres are organisations working on (integrated) river basin management in Greater Europe with an emphasis on key aspects of river restoration, knowledge sharing and international cooperation. There are /various activities that a National and Topic Centre can develop in order to contribute to more and better river restoration.
