Most of the presentations have been excellent in terms of their knowledge and sharing of experiences. Since a number of them are from overseas, it is a good exposure to gain exposure and learn!
Very impressed with the wide range of participants from all over the world! As such, the sessions have been very informative and we have received valuable inputs from professionals in the world of research ethics. An eye opener to situations in other countries as well.
