Expert Groups

SIANI expert groups are broad-based working groups established around SIANI’s vision and mission. The purpose of these groups is to convene experts on specific issues together in order to contribute to a holistic understanding of emerging issues in their field. The expert groups consolidate knowledge and foster the interactions between the members of our network in Sweden and internationally.
