From the policy paper
NERA Network Organization
Each NERA Network is expected to have a convenor and the members of the network must represent at least three different Nordic countries and the convenor must be a researcher on Ph.D. level in the field.
The main purpose of a NERA network is to facilitate and foster dialogue, discussion and collaboration between Nordic researchers, educators and practitioners in the field of education. A network organizes meetings and sessions in connection with NERA's annual congresses. The networks serve as a meeting ground for researchers within the field of education and other interested people.
The role of the convenor varies from network to network, depending in part upon the size and ambitions of the networks. As the networks are the main actors at each NERA congress, it has increasingly become necessary for the convenors to liase with their members and with the NERA board and the organizing committee of the NERA congress. After each NERA congress, the convenors are expected to produce a report on the activities of the network at the congress and during the year.
Each of the NERA networks has a convenor, which takes care of the planning of network-related sessions in cooperation with the congress committee.

Networks and the NERA web site
