“Presenting my paper at the joint Inquire UK and Inquire Europe seminar was very insightful and a lot of fun. It is great to receive feedback from seasoned practitioners and to share academic findings with a broader audience. The discussion format at the seminar is excellent and fosters a lively debate, which has generated multiple suggestions that have improved the work that I presented.
