This insightful session introduced the background and need for the CGT, progress made so far, existing use cases and a few more steps of further evolution. Silvia De Iacovo from European Commission, Dr. Bolu Wang from China GFC, and Cheng Lin from CASI set the stage with welcome remarks, establishing a solid foundation for the discussion. This engaging session brought together esteemed speakers including Zofia Wetmańska ,Bridget Boulle, Prateek Kumar , Alison O'Riordan who generously shared their knowledge and expertise.
