Ideas exchange proposal

the “nuts and bolts’” of strategies already in place;
work in progress;
ideas yet to be put into practice;
other relevant issues where a focussed discussion will be useful.
Selected “Ideas exchange” sessions will be provided with a 30 minute timeslot in which presenters
will introduce the idea(s) (10 minutes) and then facilitate 20 minutes of interaction with session
participants. The program committee may cluster submissions on a similar theme for a session.
