Network of Women for WRCs (NOW4WRC)
Women-led capacity building for WRCs — mentoring, plain-language guides and a community open to every newcomer
One-to-One Mentoring
Register as a mentor or mentee and get matched. Ask an experienced delegate the questions you can't ask on the conference floor — before, during and after WRCs and regional preparatory meetings (e.g. APG).
Community & Role Models
Meet peers and senior spectrum experts across administrations, industry and academia — connections that carry into the conference room.
Grow into Leadership
From first-time delegate to drafting-group chair — build your career in spectrum management with mentoring today, and structured courses as the programme grows.
How a WRC Really Works
The four-year cycle, CPM, regional groups, and how a national position becomes the Radio Regulations — explained in plain language and connected to the live WRC-27 and WRC-31 agenda dashboards.
The Delegate's Playbook
How to take the floor, draft a contribution, build alliances and negotiate — the unwritten rules of international conferences, made explicit for first-time delegates.
ITU Radio Regulations Reference
