| The symposium marked a wonderful start to the project. The presence of participants from various academic disciplines and a range of public and private parties illustrated the widespread support for this topic. During the panel discussions, it was abundantly clear how crucial it is to involve various stakeholders in the research from an early stage, which proves essential for the acceptance of interventions. |
