RIEN is a platform for better communication between the various organisations in the field of reflexology in Europe. Its activities consist of organising a biennial congress, seeking influence in the European Parliament on behalf of the recognition, exchanging experiences, stimulating research and supporting organizations in difficulties, all in the field of reflexology. NRN arranges an annual seminar with changing subjects. The last seminar was held in Bergen, Norway in April 2001. An important outcome of this meeting was an agreement on common minimum educational standards in the Nordic countries .
Members are individual reflexologists.
