When? During the week of Monday, September 27th to Friday, October 1st 2021.
Why? We wanted to present the LIAISON Journey so far and what are some of the results of our work!
What we did? We focused specifically upon the practical aspects of optimising interactive innovation and the potential of working in partnership for co-creation.
Next steps? We will present our policy-related findings in a follow-up meeting in Spring 2022 (details to be confirmed)
