Dear SuSanA members,

Please use this link to watch the live stream happening now .

Looking forward to your comments.

By the way, the hashtag for that meeting was #susana27 so you can check out the tweets that were made here:

I tried to follow the live stream a bit but either there was a technical problem or there was a long lunch break but when I tried - there was no video playing. Perhaps next time when you are on a lunch break there could be a clock counting down so that people know when to check back.

This is the event's group photo:



Looking forward to seeing the uploaded presentations soon.

Dear all,

we would like to share the evaluation of the meeting. It was done via digital vote on mentimeter.

The first question was how the meeting was generally received, which turned out quite positive:



The second question was an open question, what people liked about the meeting (any two words could be submitted that created a workd cloud)



We will take this feedback into consideration when planning for the next meetings.

The third question was "Do you have any improvements or suggestions for future meetings?"

A number of responses wish to have more than 1 day time for the SuSanA meeting, they would like to have more space for networking and interaction, some more presentations, some less, a field visit was suggested, more time for discussion, or professional speed dating.






A second question was "How would you or your organisation like to engage with SuSanA?"
