We are happy to announce that our annual Online Convention will be taking place on the 7th, 8th, 14th, and 16th of November 2023. This year, we are introducing a fresh format for our online convention, featuring four sessions, each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes. Each session will focus on a distinct topic based on the survey conducted last month. These sessions are being meticulously crafted and facilitated by interdisciplinary teams of partners. The sessions (all the sessions will run from 12h00 to 13h30 ET):
