The first day offered a variety of thematic workshops, as foreseen in the official program, which allowed attendees to delve deeper into current and highly relevant issues. Among the most outstanding activities, it is worth mentioning the peer-to-peer sessions, which encouraged direct exchange and constructive debate.
