Two contributions ensuing from this workshop can also be found in this special issue that comprises articles and case studies ranging from analysis of what kind of capacity building is needed, to insights in capacity building programmes for networking from a grassroots perspective, as well as from the perspective of networking practitioners. We hope you will enjoy reading this issue and find some insights that inspire you in your work.
