Contributions to research
The students received comments from Colombian and international experts in the thematic areas. Recommendations included the refinement of the research design, research questions and methodology, as well as the coherence between these aspects. They invited the young researchers to draw on the work of other colleagues and to share their ideas with colleagues who are developing the same or similar research questions.
