NRIs Collaborative Sessions
The NRIs Collaborative Sessions are interactive sessions organized by a number of NRIs from different regions on a topic of mutual interest. All topics are defined based on an open, consultative, bottom-up process across all NRIs. More about the NRIs collaborative sessions is available in the NRIs Session Guidelines.
These workshop-like collaborative sessions are planned each year by the NRIs through a consultative bottom-up process among all NRIs multistakeholder organizing committees through the NRIs coordinators involvement.
