What is ANdiNA?

Antendees at the first ANdiNA workshop
AnDIna is an informal international network of scientists which aims to inject good-humored critical debate into science where it is currently lacking and to foster international dialogue, collaboration and mentoring.
We are not aligned to any particular society, giving us the flexibility to address issues and to fill gaps that formal organisations miss. We can put our efforts into actions and dialogue rather than internal organisation and committee meetings. However, as we have no membership fees and do not make profits from running large conferences, the only resource we can call upon is the time and goodwill of colleagues.
We organise highly innovative workshops designed to stimulate debate about the objectives and directions of research. Our meetings also provide a step up for early-career researchers, to have them engage as equals in debate and to link them to new or existing networks and mentors. The workshops have been held every two years in outstandingly beautiful, mountainous, secluded locations: Montana, the Spanish Pyrenees, southern Alberta, the southern Andes of Argentina and - in February 2023 - Chile. The outcomes of these meetings have been published in international journals.
