EPAIS will take the concept of a discussion-oriented workshop to the extreme. Given the fact that this is the first workshop of this kind and EPAIS aims to collaboratively initiate a research roadmap, we want to be as open and broad as possible. Therefore, we do not want to limit nor pre-determine the discussions by having peer-reviewed paper presentations.
Instead, we will follow the Liberating Structures methodology, which was successfully employed in previous roadmap activities; e.g., see [1, 2].
This methodology ensures an inclusive, dynamic, and productive environment where all participants (see below) contribute to a co-created outcome. The day is structured into four 90-minute sessions, each with a distinct goal, guiding the group from discovery to concrete action.
