Question
To what extent do you feel this workshop has
contributed to your knowledge and

London?
How useful did you find the presentations?
How useful did you find the group work?
How easy did you find it to contribute your
ideas?
How enjoyable did you find the workshop?
Are you interested in making further
contributions to study through the workstream
research?
Additional comments on the workshop made by participants are recorded below:

useful to capture free ranging ideas.
• Acoustics poor for plenary sessions.

May have benefited from a smaller group size and separate room?
• Six break-out sessions in one room makes life very difficult unless interests
developed very early. One major point that needs to be made is that the impact of
