Working Groups

What are the iN-Net working groups?

The working groups are at the center of iN-Net’s activities, where researchers and stakeholders from across the globe will meet regularly to coordinate and drive nitrogen research and policy goals.

They will be organized according to the four key gaps identified as central to translating halving N waste targets into national action plans: data and indicators, governance, and interactions between N and climate – with communication as a cross-cutting theme.

Who can participate?

Each working group will include 15-25 practitioners, policy/decision-makers, researchers and early career professionals with representation from all major world regions. Members will be selected through an application process to ensure diverse representation and a balance between networks, disciplines, regions, gender, and stakeholders.

Working group members will serve for two to four years of the project to ensure both continuity and the opportunity for new ideas and experience to be reintroduced throughout the project’s lifecycle.

What kind of outputs will the working groups produce?

Each working group will be tasked with developing a clear and cogent plan to address their theme within the first 6-12 months of the project, with specific outputs including at least one review, perspective and/or meta-analysis paper on their topic, policy-relevant boundary objects including policy briefs and webinars, and the development of grant proposals on specific sub-themes in the final year of the project.
