The IMPEL General Assembly can admit Observers to the Association which then can participate in the meetings of the General Assembly with a consultative voice. An Observer can be an international organisation or network which has a close link to IMPEL’s activities. Experts, nominated by the representative of an Observer can also attend IMPEL projects and activities.
