As the presentations at the first TMC conference in Marrakech were of such outstanding quality, this space has been made available for the delegates to lay down a marker for the research they presented. This material will be developed in more detail for an edited collection that will be published by the project after our second conference, which will take place in October – November 2018 in Edinburgh, UK.
