Pre-meeting assignments

In two online meetings, participants will work in five groups of six, organized according to disease site. The aim is for each group to collaboratively develop research ideas and ultimately identify one shared project proposal to pursue further. Each group has been assigned two senior mentors from the steering committee and/or faculty, who will participate in the online meetings and also attend the course week in Iceland.
