<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="" style="font-size:14pt">We also encourage and invite contributions to these interactive discussions in the form of audience participation and through roles such as chairing and facilitating sessions.
We hope that any proposals that are not selected for presentation in the roundtables will find their way into the conversation in this manner, though we appreciate that some funders require presentation in order to support travel. You may wish to indicate
in your application whether your participation would depend on a presentation slot and/or another named role on the program (including as session chairs and facilitators).</span><span class="" style="font-size:14pt"> </span></p>
