My goal is to work alongside committee members to explore ways to enhance this cooperation and to build a comprehensive understanding of the work that has already been accomplished in this field. By identifying successful strategies and addressing potential gaps, I aim to contribute to the development of a more seamless and efficient integration process, ensuring that resources and expertise are utilized to their fullest potential.
