How will the SpeedNET process work?

The SpeedNET session will utilise a series of Zoom breakout rooms to enable participants to make connections. There will be an opportunity for 3 iterations which will enable attendees to potentially meet 10-20 new colleagues. The aim will be for each participant to give a quick, 1 minute informal personal introduction covering:

• What you do?
• What is your interest in waste fishing gear?
• What specific types of connections you are looking to make?
• What problems do you need to solve/solutions you need to find?
