In 1996 EASA began to establish permanent networks of scholars from all over Europe to co-operate on fields of special interest. These networks are dynamic and provide excellent opportunities for collaboration and exchange in areas of special interest.
A network is designed to enable scholars based in different countries and at different institutions to work together around a specific anthropological topic and to be open to others interested in the same topic to join. A network can improve collaborations and dialogue between EASA members and non-members and do so in a less formal way than a thematic association.
