Cooperation and membership in international organizations
RNIDS is a member of all relevant international organizations engaged in the field of the internet. Its staff actively participate in international conferences and various bodies established under international organizations, such as the ccNSO of ICANN, the NRI IGF, and others. On several occasions, RNIDS has put Belgrade at the center of the domain industry by organizing the main annual conferences of multiple organizations.
Similarly, RNIDS actively collaborates with national top-level domain registries in the region and supports the implementation of various regionally significant initiatives, such as SEEDIG.
RNIDS also maintains active cooperation with domestic institutions and organizations, including relevant ministries, the National CERT, independent bodies and offices, the NGO sector, higher education institutions — universities and faculties, as well as business associations and clubs.
This collaboration is carried out through participation in consultative sessions and working groups, organization of joint events and projects, educational gatherings, and more.
