GAL L'ALTRA ROMAGNA

SERN is the main transnational network in Europe fostering relations in a multilvel perspective between Northern and Southern Europe and in particular between Sweden and Italy.

SERN has three main specificities that make it a unique example of transnational cooperation:

• It is the only bilateral network in the European Union that brings together actors from the Northern and Southern part of the European Union.
• It is a multilevel network where different levels of government interact and collaborate.
• It is a network open to civil society and to private actors. Legally the network is a non-profit transnational association with legal personality and has its official seat in Bologna (Italy). The statute of the association approved in 2005 and last modified in April 2009 sets out the institutional structure of the organisation.
