About trade union policy gathering

The Academic Policy Gathering is NITO's common arena for the exchange of experience, learning and discussion across expert committees, advisory committees in BFI and professional networks. The gathering will strengthen the interaction between disciplines and politics and contribute to NITO's clearer and more coordinated position in the public debate.

Through professional presentations, dialogue and discussion, you will gain increased insight into how NITO works with advocacy work, and how you as a resource person can contribute to this work.

What you get out of participating

  • Better understanding of NITO's professional policy role and priorities

  • Increased competence in advocacy and interaction

  • Opportunity to share experiences and learn from other resource persons

  • A stronger network across disciplines and organisations
