This changed the tone of conference away from 'here is what we did and found out' and more on 'this is what we still need to know']]> 2022-03-31 11:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123406733 SSNAfrica https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123409707 Bring together very diverse stakeholders (assuming they have the bandwidth, etc.), e.g. grassroots leaders interacting in Gobeshona, who would unlikely interact and attend some conferences]]> 2022-03-31 11:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123409707 Inclusion and diversity curriealder https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123410160 Not only option of getting more people involved, but intentionally uncovering distinct perspectives, whether from different people outside the 'usual suspects' in our community of practice, or from distinct places (i.e. in West Africa or South Asia)

Even in person, having mentimeter or twitter gives more audience participation and feedback]]> 2022-03-31 11:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123412066 In terms of inculsivity of researchers from remote locations or on low funding: One must also keep in mind that for them travelling to a conference is sometimes the only option to connect to other researchers from their fields (especially when not living in Europe or North America). Travelling to conferences may thus be really important for them and virtual participation can be an opportunities on top of that (e.g. travelling to 1-2 in-person conferences + several virtual ones) https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123423104 2022-03-31 11:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123423104 https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123431237 spontaneously joining a conference / conference sesion last minute]]> 2022-03-31 12:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ariabrunetti/a3864hdhjag0ghbf/wish/2123431237
