- Discuss your problem within a working group
- Next to the template you will receive during registration, you will be asked to fill out a participants’ profile which enables us to set up suitable working groups. A working group will consist of 5-8 partic-ipants (depending on the overall number of registrations). Together, you will work through your first pack of cases, discuss them and draft a possible solution.
