The webinars are structured in two halves, with a presentation for the first half. From the outset these webinars invite interactive discussions with network members. For example, speakers may provide pointers for discussions by posting specific questions to the audience, explore possibilities for future pilot studies, or ask specialists in other areas to give feedback on particular aspects of their work. The second half (30 mins) then opens the floor for discussion.
