Internal Worksite: Book Workshop 2026

This page serves as a hub for supplementary documents for the workshop hosted in Bergen from 08:30 on Thursday, 19 March to 14:00 on Friday, 20 March. Below you will find PowerPoint presentations and any additional materials that authors wish to share. At the bottom of the page you will also find a copy of the program to ensure that it is easily accessible throughout your stay.

The workshop brings together authors to present and discuss draft country chapters. Participants will highlight key themes and findings, work collectively to ensure coherence across chapters, and address questions that arise during the discussion. The workshop also provides space for collaboration and planning toward the final submission of the chapters.
