The Roundtable will offer the chance for the discussants to provide feedback and commentary on the work presented by the panelists during the meeting with a focus on two overarching questions:
- What are the questions and issues being addressed currently by the projects involved with the SEC Spanish Consortium?
- What future avenues of collaboration and research might could be explored?
