What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : |
I had very positive feedback from the audiences during and after my presentation. Some of the audiences for instance came to me after my presentation requiring more information concerning WAI index as the main key word of my talk and asking the way they can establish such kind of the work in their workplace. One of the academic member of the Qatari university also requested me to have collaborative work as well as joint projects with my university, Tehran University of Medical Sciences in future. In general, my feeling from these talks is a positive and promising one, and I hope we can have present our works particularly within the region for getting more collaborations and establishing applied research projects in these region instead of expertise coming from western countries. I personally believe we have such a profound capacity to get many works from the countries located in the middle-east region. |
