The vast majority of contributors found the establishment of the research network and its events to be highly beneficial, and there was strong interest among contributors in continuing their involvement with the network. Most contributors supported the idea of organising occasional conferences or/and workshops, possibly on an annual basis, designed to engage both academics and practitioners. It was collectively agreed that the network should maintain its informal structure, rather than becoming institutionalised or formalised. Plans for the future were made.
