Scope
editThe network is made up of the local administrations or governments of the islands of Bornholm (Denmark), Gotland (Sweden), Hiiumaa (Estonia), Rügen (Germany), Saaremaa (Estonia), Åland (autonomous part of Finland) and Öland (Sweden).[1][2]
The network has two decision-making bodies; a "steering committee", which is the politically responsible body, and a managing authority, called the "board". The cooperation is funded by member fees, which are according to population size.[1]
