Country Ambassadors


For each country we have appointed one or more Country Ambassadors to liaise with members from that country, working alongside the Council member where that country is also represented on Council. The Country Ambassador will also liaise with their country's national or local association to foster a productive relationship with INSOL Europe, helping us to share important updates and news of forthcoming events etc.

INSOL Europe Council Members (C) and Country Ambassadors (CA) are shown in the table below.
