Events include various webinars, workshops and conferences to engage communities with our work in the form of methods and usage tools. These events also give insights into how to form your own questions using these tools to effectively use data for research to further contribute to informed policy making.
The authors will explain directly their ideas and the work that is already underway in the U.S. and abroad.
