We then conducted a thematic analysis of the interview transcripts to identify common points of agreement and disagreement. In the following sections, we summarise three dominant themes that emerged from the analysis of the findings: 1) developing and framing projects, 2) mutual learning and knowledge integration, and 3) reflexivity and societal impact.
