As specified in the Terms and Conditions for the operation of the network, EAN can establish sub-networks and working groups on topics of particular interest. Sub-networks are mean to be sustainable, whereas working groups are created for a limited period of time. The first EAN sub-network was created in 2002 on research reactors. This sub-network is no more active.
Up to now 1 sub-network and 1 working group are in operation:
