Discussion Groups / Workshops
Discussion groups are designed to gather congress participants who are interested in discussing, in a genuinely interactive way, certain challenging, controversial or emerging issues and dilemmas of interest to an international or regional audience. Workshops aim for an even deeper interaction with a specific topic emphasising activities of the participants. The focus of Discussion Groups and Workshops should be distinct from the subjects covered in the Topic Study Groups (TSG) . The Discussion Group will meet two times with 90 minutes meeting time, the Workshops will meet once with 90 minutes working time.
In every case use these templates: Template for Workshop Template for Discussion Group
