Workshopping discussion panels
& evening talks
This year’s IPW is marked by many changes and new ideas. We wanted the gatherings to be more engaging for the audience, so instead of the usual lectures, we decided to introduce new formats – discussion panels and evening conversations.
We encourage everyone to participate actively and engage in the discussions!
