- AC: Will there be a structure for webinars?
- EK: This seems indeed to be more common, so we should consider adding this
- AC: Would this be worth it?
- AC + EK: this is an open question :-)
- EK: depends on the form of the webinar too; it needs to be considered training, i.e. have, among others, learning outcomes
- AC: we consider doing training afterwards, still thinking about this
- EK: AIDA Data Hub has similar things, called 'online workshops', maybe the should be included in the structures too
- L: BIIF has many workshops, maybe they could add a survey link? There is a bit of overlap between AIDA Data Hub and BIIF
- NS: creating a webinar is easier; a full course costs more preparation time
- EK: some things indeed take more time to learn, hence a course would be appropriate. For 'simple'/'single-topic' things, a webinar could be feasible
