This session will complete the seminar series and provide a section of the day to consider practical suggestions for developing the network that will have developed. As the final session in the series the seminar theme has been left unallocated so the seminar group membership to set an agenda according to areas that are thought to deserve further discussion or attention. This session will close with a short overview of the series and discussion around possibilities for capitalising on the network and momentum generated by the seminar series.
