The International Nitrogen Initiative (INI) is a global network of scientists and stakeholders dedicated to better understanding and  advancing sustainable nitrogen management. For over two decades, INI has organized triennial conferences to convene the international nitrogen community and provide a forum for discussion and collaboration. It has also led to development of other projects and networks, including the International Nitrogen Management System, one of the iN-Net partner networks.

The iN-Net project is an opportunity for INI to add to its role as a convener by also making it a catalyst of the nitrogen research agenda.
