IRIN’s 2024 retreat

IRIN’s 2024 retreat took place from 20 to 23 November in the medieval town of Gruyère.

After a first afternoon devoted to a review of the past year, the retreat continued with a presentation of the Association’s plans for 2025 and beyond. A research programme and an implementation plan for the period 2025-2027 were drawn up. On the third day, we explored the networks and fields that might support our goals, followed by two working sessions. The final day was an opportunity to reflect on the future of our website and ended with a wrap-up session.

More news to come in 2025. Stay tuned and best wishes for the festive season ! Alain & Léa
