join the conversation
The AEN is a member-driven network and as the secretariat, we welcome members engaging with us and sharing their ideas. There are three ways AEN members can send us their input on EVIDENCE 2020 ONLINE: you can reach out to a working group lead, connect with us on social media, or email us directly with your thoughts. You can also participate in the COVID-19 dovetail activities happening in the lead-up to EVIDENCE 2020 ONLINE by either submitting a blog for our AEN in COVID-19 blog series or sharing your EIDM in COVID-19 stories with us.
There will
be many opportunities for members to get involved in pre-events - such
as participating in webinars, sending us their experiences, and
co-writing blogs. At EVIDENCE 2020 ONLINE itself, participants should
come prepared to share their cases/examples while actively working
in the sessions of each work stream. This active work will vary.
Sometimes working together will involve commenting on documents shared,
at other times this work will be to brainstorm key principles after
having watched videos. In every instance, each session will be designed
to maximise active engagement with fellow participants and the content.
So in terms of engagement, participants at EVIDENCE 2020 ONLINE can
expect to actively work within or across work streams, get to know
each other, and consciously plan future collaborations with other
participants.
