Verona Research Group
This is a reminder that we are asking for comments on the draft research protocol presented in Tokyo by October 31st. All members have been emailed the protocol (short and long version) on the 6th October. We are particularly interested in whether there are components of the protocol that would make it difficult for you to participate so we can consider changes to the protocol. Many thanks to those who have already sent their comments.
Research Committee
The Research Committee invites researchers to present their work in upcoming webinars throughout the year.
If you are interested in presenting, please contact Mika at [email protected].
We also encourage you to explore the newly updated Research tab and the restructured Library on our website.
If you have recently published an article, we would be delighted to help share your work by adding it to the Library folder.
