Abstract

The aim of this 90' session is to explore the aspects of practice that do not get included in the materials submitted for awards such as the EURO Excellence in Practice Award. Submissions naturally focus on the criteria being judged: the originality of the methodology, the scientific excellence, the impact, and so on. But anybody who has been engaged in a practical application will know that this only tells part of the story. To get to the stage of an implemented application, there will have been many hurdles along the way: getting all the data, making sure it is correct, convincing all the stakeholders, overcoming fears and doubts of the people who have to change their way of working, and so forth. In this session, we will invite panellists to give a short presentation of these aspects of their projects, consider how they dealt with the challenges and identify key lessons, to be followed by questions and discussion with the audience on the key issues and how we address them.
The latest details of panel members can be found on the Making an Impact page on the main conference website (euro2024cph.dk/programme/making-an-impact-2024)
