It’s time to meet again! We are excited to inform you about an upcoming SIANI Annual Meeting 2023 on the 9th of March, 10-15 (CET), at Odenplan, Stockholm.

In 2023, SIANI started the new program phase, hence the SIANI secretariat is now excited to invite you to a conversation contributing to shaping the dialogue around rights-based and sustainable food systems. In times of recurring crises how can we transform our food system into resilient and inclusive? And how can SIANI as a network come together and contribute?

The annual meeting is an opportunity to connect, network, share ideas and exchange experiences to forward the discussions on how we together with knowledge and action collaborate towards rights based and sustainable food systems.

We look forward to meeting you again in person, reconnecting with others, taking on new challenges, and building the next chapter of SIANI.

Note that more information regarding the SIANI Regional meetings will follow soon.
