The Political Program of the NCF has not been revised since 2016. Therefore, it is time to take a look at the political foundation of our organisation. The WG will revise the whole political program from topics such education and research to environment, energy and transportation. The preliminary timetable is to present a first draft at the upcoming Top Meeting where delegates are encouraged to make amendments and give comments. After the Top Meeting, the draft will be sent to the Board of the NCF and finally to the Member Organisations. The final product will be presented at the Repskap in 2019.
We are looking for one representative from each MO. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate contact Syver at sza.sp.no.
