The scientific programme will take place online, with a possible set of face-to-face sessions in a blended format (on-venue and online) subject to English Public Health and University of Manchester policies in November 2021.
We will create a series of tools to generate engagement between participants during the days of the colloquium, replicating online the traditional spaces of engagement that are so characteristic of ECTQG.
