The online network can be found at www.cisnetwork.eu and offers the opportunity for local groups and enterprises to increase their visibility and promote their business across an EU-wide creative and cultural network. Local groups and companies can search for partners, customers and providers by placing and reviewing offers and demands on the online platform. CISNET will also be posting about upcoming events of interest.
