Five workshops were organised throughout the lifetime of RUBICODE to evaluate the concepts and methods developed within the project and identify gaps in knowledge. Stakeholders and/or scientific experts from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines were invited to attend each workshop to promote discussion and consensus.
