Nodal Offices

Within the GLP community the Nodal offices have allocated resources to contribute to the objectives of the GLP with either a regional or thematic focus or combination of these. They aim to organize the GLP community within a region or specific focus area and organize networking, synthesis or agenda setting activities within their region or thematic area that go beyond the activities of regular (collaborative) research projects.
