Module 04: Research Transparency

Summary

This session consists of two short presentations in plenary with a brief Q&A between them. It is followed by small group discussions in breakout rooms, by institution. During the breakout room discussions, team members share their thoughts in a communal document, allowing participants to reflect on ideas as a group when they return to plenary.
