Afterwards, each representative from the different stakeholder groups is invited to comment on the research results and to provide a contribution through elaborating the research results. At the end of each contribution, the moderator will open the discussion to the audience members that can either make specific questions to the speakers or to provide their own comments, opinions or to share their own experience. At the same time, questions and contributions are collected from remote participants and are shared in real time with the participants to the roundtable. |
