Workshop Preparation

Participants should prepare one single slide for a personal introduction of their research (60 seconds max., timed) and include a research question of their interest for the workshop theme. What can you contribute to the workshop theme, what do you wish to learn during this workshop? What types of knowledge and experiences can you contribute to the workshop? Do you wish to volunteer for note taking? Let us know! Notes will help us prepare concluding remarks during the workshop and an open report for everyone after the workshop.
