Our Organization

WECF was offically registered as a foundation in 1994 and today has three coordinating offices: in Utrecht, the Netherlands; in Munich, Germany; and, since March 2008, in Annemasse, France. The three WECF offices are organised into one international organisation, which manages the networking, projects and finances.


WECF has 40 part time staff and collaborates with scientist, researchers, engineers and volunteers. The overall responsibility for the strategic and financial mangement is borne by the International Board of Trustees, whose members are elected on the basis of their experience and expertise and execute their function on a voluntary basis, while the International Advisory Board represents the member organisations.
