The first day was used to begin building a common language and methodology, outline the research actions that each unit will pursue during the course of the project, discuss issues of common interest, and share operational procedures, including obtaining approval from the Ethics Committees of the respective University departments.

The following day the group participated in its first internal seminar, designed as an opportunity to gain familiarity with and discuss the Systematic Review in which the four research units will be engaged in the first few months of the project.

The seminar was conducted by Rita Marzoli, head of the Library and Documentation Centre of INVALSI (Istituto nazionale per la valutazione del sistema educativo di istruzione e di formazione, National Institute for the Evaluation of the Education and Training System) and Luca Ghirotto, researcher at the University of Verona Department of Human Sciences.
