This initiative will be followed up by a new meeting taking place on September 19^th 2024, also at Lysaker.

Objective of this Forum

Be a meeting place where coordinators can share experience and learn from each other.

Pre-meeting input

The afternoon session is intended to be entirely open and flexible: we can discuss any issues that participants want to raise – limited only by the time available.  If you wish, you can provide input beforehand by sending an email to Randi Aarekol Basmadjian

Just write a few words/bullet points about some coordination issue you have experienced and that you would like to discuss with others – perhaps with a view to seeking advice or perhaps to share “lessons learned” with others.

Alternatively, you can provide input in person at the meeting.
