The workshop consisted of presentations by representatives from the INGSA headquarters in New Zealand, UNESCO Abuja Office and the Steering Committee of INGSA-Africa as well as case studies which provided an interactive way of applying science advice into realistic situations. A post-workshop survey yielded a generally very positive feedback from participants who rated the overall quality as excellent and found the case studies an appropriate and helpful way of learning how to offer science advice.
