EViR Conference September 2020
On top of our usual meeting on the 28-29 of September, the Forum hosted their first conference. It provided the opportunity to open the Forum to a much wider community by opening the conference programme and participation to all members of the organisations. Sessions were spread over two weeks reducing the daily burden to all attendees. 175 individuals joined the conference from 59 organisations and 21 countries.
This conference provided an opportunity for all members of funding organisations to participate and engage with international peers. Topics in the conference covered a wide range of topics.
