This collaborative writing page has three goals:

  • Organize the three sessions of discussion: So review the current questions or add questions or topics you would like to be addressed in the workshop
  • To map the expertise among the participants: So add your name on the issues you work or are interested
  • Collect insights for each question: So add insights on what you know

On the bases of this, we will provide to the participants a document for prepare the discussion.
