The program was designed as a mix of presentations and ongoing table-based conversations – each contributing to the overall inquiry.
In all there were 22 presenters from 13 countries – six were from the German-speaking world.
The 135 participants were organised into 16 table-based Inquiry Groups with partipants selected to maximise diversity and difference at each table. Up to two ‘students’ from the associated PhD Program were part of each table group.
