A group of people sits attentively in a conference room, watching a presenter who is standing next to a projection screen. The presenter, wearing a scarf and gesturing with one hand, is discussing a slide titled "Study Aims." The slide includes bullet points and colorful images. Attendees, seated in rows, focus on the presentation, some taking notes. A projector sits on a table in front of the screen, and framed artwork is visible on the wall behind the group.
