The workshop format includes the four sessions listed above. Each session will run for 60 minutes and comprise 3 x 10-minute presentations by session panelists followed by a moderated 30-minute discussion. Each session panel will include two invited senior experts, and one PhD student or Early Career Researcher.
Among our confirmed expert panellists are:
