National Initiatives Forum (NIF)
The GA4GH National Initiatives Forum (NIF) will convene for "NIF Day" on 8 October 2025.
NIF Day provides a dedicated space for those working in national genomics initiatives to connect, exchange experiences, and explore opportunities for collaboration. You may find the draft agenda below. Stay tuned as more details will be added in the coming weeks.
While participation is prioritised for current NIF members, we value the perspectives of the broader GA4GH community. We would like to welcome interest from other plenary attendees who feel that their work aligns with NIF’s mission.
Whether you are a current NIF member or an individual interested in participating, please register your interest using the form below. GA4GH staff will reach out to confirm your attendance in the coming weeks.
