This event kicks off a year of consultation which will include commissioning research papers, small scale workshops and other activities to fully design the program for 2022.
The event will share some of the initial findings from the commissioned Background Report
written by a team at ITDP. To further inform the development of the programme, VREF
commissioned a bibliometric study, and initial findings will be shared.
Finally, we invite a set of well-known experts in the field with different research and geographic backgrounds to share their thoughts on key research gaps on IPT.
