Part 2

12:00 - 12:20 (20 min)
We will split into small working groups, mixing the topics within each group. Each group will propose up to three research questions.

12:20 – 12:30 (10 min)
All the participants together will agree on a final list of research questions, considered crucial for new directions of further study.
