Evaluation Accomodation & Organisation (listing only comments on how to improve)  Limited Wi-fi  Difficult to find the place  Allocation to groups based on more than 3 keywords  More info on how/what to prepare  Less comprised poster session (perhaps over 2 sessions)

Evaluation Poster Session & company visit  Poster Session, Group thematically  Poster Session, Separate in two sessions  Company visit, Info in advance  Company visit, Academic talk before practitioner talk

Evaluation Meta skills & Key notes  Meta Skills, illustrate funding application with a practical example  Meta Skills, create a forum for participants to share knowledge of methods and good sources of information  Meat Skills, How to run and develop pan-European projects  Key notes, Would have liked to hear how senior scholars turn research ideas into study design

Evaluation Group sessions & Career steps  Group sessions – extra time for warm up, difficult for first presenter  Career steps – senior advice missing/ clearer guidance  Career steps – prepare hand outs for participants
