After the presentations we had three “knowledge cafes” in which the discussion on the topics of the presentations could be deepened.

It was an interesting day with about 35 enthusiastic participants.
Through a questionnaire, we have collected good ideas for meetings of the IQ cluster in 2023 and 2024.
