The EU Agencies Network (EUAN), in its current form, was set up in 2012 to support the work of the 49 EU decentralised Agencies, Joint Undertakings (JUs) and bodies and their approximately 12.000 staff located in 24 Member States.

The Network provides a platform for exchange and cooperation for its members on areas of common interest, enabling them to share their expertise at the European level. It also serves as a single point of contact for the EU institutions when addressing cross-cutting issues of general interest to all Agencies and JUs.
