Institutional participation
The National Nexus Consortium (NNC) is the institutional pillar of a National Nexus programme. Its members are institutions, which bring authorized representatives, a contribution plan and capability to the national programme through constituency councils. The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) supports the national programmes as Consortium Secretariat. This page sets out who can take part, the steps to membership and the rules that keep institutional participation from deciding technical conclusions or public authority. Return to National Nexus.

What institutional membership does not do.
- Institutional membership does not create a council seat.
- No contribution decides a technical conclusion, a public authority or a procurement treatment.
- Official cooperation by public bodies never depends on buying a membership tier.
- Precompetitive work never shares competitors' confidential information.
- A claimed identity is not representative authority until it is checked.
