Our Women in IP community held a number of 40-minute virtual coffee mornings on Tuesday 28 April, to mark World IP Day.
Starting at 8.30 am, each involved an informal, roundtable-style discussion covering:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Â Let us know a bit about yourself – what’s your situation at home, a chance to offload!
2)Â Â Â Â Â Â Strategies and tips you’re using for coping/balancing/juggling
3)Â Â Â Â Â Â How you think this period will have affected our working lives in the future
