Sandpit on Precision SSA
March 9, 2022 @ 1:00 pm – 6:15 pm
Following on from the Precision SSA workshop, held in July 2020, the March sandpit looked to generate further discussion, and spark ideas for collaborative projects that could be supported by GNOSIS funding opportunities. This was a virtual event, free to attend and open to all.
