This workshop is open to colleagues from QMU and our collaborative partners.
Participants will be asked to complete ~30 mins of asynchronous preparatory work prior to joining the workshop.
We will be using cameras, microphones and breakout rooms during the session, so you may prefer to join us from a quiet space if this is possible for you.
