Despite the remote participation, the conference brought together researchers from a variety of fields, providing an opportunity to discuss and analyze topics of common interest. Each network has set up its own call for papers and selected its participants for the conference. This flexible way, open to interaction with other fields and sciences, gave participants the opportunity to tap into new interdisciplinary methods and practices that can be further adapted and/or applied to their own field of research.
