SuSanA’s Thematic Discussion Series (TDS) is an initiative to engage actors from interconnected areas of expertise in discussions which are focused on a specific theme and limited to 2-4 weeks. The discussions take place on the SuSanA Forum and are guided and led by thematic leads, who will provide background information on the topic, respond to and lead the discussion with the support of a coordinator. Regular summaries and a synthesis report of the discussion will be generated that improve knowledge management and help practitioners move forward in their field.
SuSanA thematic discussions involve collaboration and coordination among thematic leads, the relevant SuSanA working groups, SuSanA members, hosting organisations and the SuSanA secretariat.
