Sorry, just saw the question. I somehow managed to stop all email from going into my inbox by accidentally creating a new rule.

I attended all three days virtually. It is great to see events like this that are free to access. There were some great presentations. We’re looking into the possibility of collaborating with FORM on some research integrity training in the future.

That sounds great. I attended last year in person and the virtual portion was also well-planned with brilliant presentations. Regarding the training, will it be in part of the [Community Development Series](https://forumforopen.org/what-we-do/community-development-series/), if so I look forward to attending your training.
