Round table discussion
• Collect critical comments to the topics presented in the workshop (don‘t repeat what has already been said)
• Try to identify the main directions of future technical and scientific needs and development
• Try to identify schedules, milestones and risks• Discuss financial including funding scenarios• Try to form cooperation for a complementary use of expertise and
instruments to address the next to be solved steps• Define points of reference in the larger scientific/ technical
environment • Consider if a co-operative action in the form of a Collaborative Call
with INTAS might be of help (enlarged and focused budget, synergy)
