  2. Participate in scientific, tourist, educational, or sustainable development dissemination meetings where information or participation from UNESCO Global Geoparks is needed.
  3. Coordinate common initiatives of the Spanish UNESCO Global Geoparks, support their development, and foster relationships among their members through the organization of events and joint projects.
  4. Act as a liaison for the Spanish Geoparks with the heads of the GGN and its regional network, the European Geoparks Network (EGN), in accordance with their respective statutes and rules, and without affecting the functions of the Spanish National Committee of UNESCO Global Geoparks.
  5. Collaborate with the Spanish National Committee of UNESCO Global Geoparks in anything required regarding the network work of the Spanish geoparks.
  6. Organize the annual Open Days, held since 2014 in one of the Spanish UNESCO Global Geoparks, aimed at presenting and discussing the progress and results of each geopark, as well as possibly future projects, while also serving as a platform for exchanging information and collaborations.
