The face-to-face session will implement the eLearning materials in practice: how to define, evaluate and characterise risks and also how to devise and implement specific techniques and strategies for risk management. Lively discussion and action planning session with all participants are main in the classroom part as interactive workshops are analysed and actions will be discussed.
