ISBNPA New Strategic Plan

The ISBNPA Executive Committee has been diligently evaluating our current strategic plan while preparing for the next phase. We are thrilled to collaborate with the Oro Group Mentoring team. The new strategic plan is set to be unveiled in June 2025, but we couldn't wait to share a sneak peek of some exciting initiatives we're considering. These new directions will complement our existing four strategic initiatives, rather than replace them, as the evaluation of our current plan has yielded positive results.

1. Prioritizing and Contributing to Societal Impact

2. Amplifying Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Mentoring for ECR

3. Enhancing Interactions With LMIC

Feel free to reach out to António Palmeira if you want to comment or contribute to the development of the new strategic plan.
