How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
Most benefit in our faculty have students, they are gaining experience in organization, workshops and lectures presentation. Our city was expecting us to held the BAW, it became tradition. It is a opportunity to hear some quality scientific lectures, workshops etc.
