Programme
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.
Special Sessions and Parallel Sessions
There will be eight special sessions convened by academics on specific topics.
The programme will also have other parallel sessions with traditional ECTQG themes.
