Sessions
There will be different types of sessions around these themes and topics, offering different possibilities for you to participate:
- High-Level Panels (HLPs)are highly visible segments of the program and feature high-profile policymakers and speakers for thought-provoking debates.
- Lab Debates are smaller versions of HLPs. They foster debates on theEDD 2022’s topics in an interactive and engaging way.
- Project/Report Presentations are for organizers to share their latest reports and projects on a topic relevant to the EDD’s main theme.
- Brainstorming Sessions are interactive, topic-oriented sessions that enable organizers to involve the audience in rolling up their sleeves and proposing concrete recommendations through facilitated group problem-solving. Brainstorming sessions will only be held onsite. A summary of the outcomes will however be presented to the audience onsite and online.
- Agora Sessions are an open, multi-purpose area where the European Development Days community can meet, discuss and listen to new ideas, in short, 20-minute sessions held entirely onsite. Agoras are the perfect setting for more informal, highly dynamic discussions.
In the Community Guide, you will find more information about each session type, the milestones and deadlines, and the facilities offered during the event.
Please note that while the European Development Days 2022 will be a hybrid event, Session Organisers and moderators/facilitators must attend in-person onsite. Also, we strongly urge speakers to attend in person onsite.
The European Development Days venue in Brussels and its session spaces will be accessible to all including people with disabilities.
