1. Overview

Synergistic Processes -- initially known as Synergistic Community Communication & Interaction Processes -- was created as a project of the International Synergy Institute in January 1992 in the context of preparations for the June 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The project was the basis for the accreditation of the International Synergy Institute to participate as an non-governmental organization in the Earth Summit / United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).
