As a member of NORRAG you can find and connect with any of our 5,800 members according to shared expertise, geography or interests. Forging these connections inside the NORRAG network opens up opportunities for you to discuss and work with others who share your values and interests. Becoming a member also allows you to receive regular updates of NORRAG’s activities, events and latest publications, as well as publicising your events and news through us. Anyone interested in international policies and cooperation in education can be part of the “NORRAG community”, by attending events or consulting our Open Access knowledge products (blog, NORRAG Special Issue etc.) and our website; but only members can connect to other members using our new networking tool.
