April NNI Partner Meeting

Network of Australasian Tertiary Associations or 'NATA' is the name...

The NNI Member representatives met using Vidyo, a video conferencing tool, to discuss the recent progress report, project communication plan, development of an ethics application and to decide upon a network name. It was unanimously decided to go with NATA, the Network of Australasian Tertiary Associations. This meeting helped provide clarity in the direction of the project both in respect to the research agenda, communication platform to be adopted as well the scope of the project itself.
