Remarks

Sessions have 4 x 15 mins presentations – we will send the template. A discussant will have 10 mins and that leaves 20 mins for group discussion. Please note that the first and final sessions have three presentations due to opening and closing remarks.

Role of Chair:
Maintain time (presenters will have 15 minutes each to identify key points) and co-ordinate throughout the session.

Role of Discussant:
For each paper identify strengths and areas for improvement. Identify themes that run through the papers as a group and identify one or two questions to open up discussion.
