Covid-19 and NOS-HS Exploratory workshop design: Not just challenges but also renewal?

In the autumn of 2021, the NOS-HS Secretariat carried out a report into the impact of the pandemic on the exploratory workshop design so far.

It found that the applications showcase exciting new developments in workshop design and research network collaboration by combining online, hybrid and in-person ways of working. The report was prepared and carried out independently by the NOS-HS Secretariat Intern Mari Lehvä.
