This full-day workshop is focused on discussion between participants, with short, informal presentations used at the start of the day to map out the expertise present and provide context for individuals' contributions. The structure of the day begins with reflection on current contexts and work in CRI, and then moves toward exploring and preparing for the “near future” (next 3-5 years) of research. The proposed schedule is as follows
