*Project workshops
As a means of ensuring the success of the projects and studies that I-DSD/I-CAH supports, it is trying out the concept of project workshops where those who are involved in similar projects using the Registries are being invited to provide a very brief summary of their projects in a virtual meeting room. The project workshops are based on broad themes and may consist of a variable number projects within that specific theme. Each workshop will be held twice a day, before and after the day’s proceedings to satisfy the needs of delegates from different time zones. The workshops will be relatively informal and delegates will be able to dip in and out of different workshops and pose live questions to the project leads.
