- Induction in to the online project management to to ensure clarity around communication and workflow management was agreed.
- Partners led and/or participated in 4 workshops designed to allow brief exploration of the main elements necessary to conduct the Europe-wide survey on dental education (IO4,5). The workshops helped in preparation of O1,2,3,7 and resulted in vigorous and open dialogue sharing multiple and at time competing approaches and views that operate within the EU dental education arena.
