Programme Workshops
These events will be held annually, and are intended to bring the MICROCON consortium together for the discussion and refinement of all project research activities and results. Members of our target audiences will be invited to some of these events, to establish links between policy-makers and MICROCON researchers, and to build effective collaborations and research and policy capacity.

The first day was an internal workshop devoted to discussion of research results to date, and how to integrate findings from the different parts of the programme. The second day focussed on the policy applications of MICROCON's work.
The report for this event will be published shortly on this page.
