+### ORN Working Groups
+
+**Introduction to ORN Working Groups**
+
+ORN Working Groups are collaborative clusters within the Open Research Network
+that focus on specific research themes or operational challenges. These groups
+are composed of experts, researchers, and practitioners who come together to
+drive innovations and develop solutions in their respective fields.
+
+**Purpose and Goals**
+
+The primary aim of ORN Working Groups is to leverage collective expertise to
+advance research, share best practices, and produce actionable insights that
+contribute to the broader goals of ORN. Each group operates with a clear mandate
+to address particular scientific or operational objectives.
+
+**Criteria for Formation**
+
+- **Relevance**: The group's focus must align with ORN's strategic interests and
+  the current needs of the research community.
+- **Expertise**: Members should possess the necessary expertise and experience
+  to contribute effectively to the group's objectives.
+- **Code of Conduct**: Groups must adopt a code of conduct to ensure
+  professionalism and inclusivity. We recommend the Contributor Covenant for
+  groups needing guidance in formulating their own.
+
+**Application Process**
+
+- **Proposal Submission**: Interested individuals or teams must submit a
+  detailed proposal outlining the group's intended focus, objectives, and
+  expected outcomes.
+- **Review**: Proposals are reviewed by ORN leadership to ensure alignment with
+  organizational goals and resource availability.
+- **Approval**: Upon approval, groups are officially recognized and provided
+  with support and resources from ORN to commence their activities.
+
+**How to Apply**
+
+To apply for the formation of a Working Group within ORN, please visit the
+official ORN website and navigate to the 'Working Groups' section. Here, you
+will find application forms and additional guidance on how to submit your
+proposal.
