Agenda
The event will be a full day meeting, starting at 9am with coffee/tea.
In the morning participants will be asked to put forward two to three key topics that they are currently dealing with in their day to day technical operations.
For lunch we'll be taking everyone for a long table discurssive lunch at the Cheesecake Factory (just around the corner from the Westin), this to help generate more informal personal ideas for further discussion in the afternoon.
The afternoon, will be finished off with further group discussion (based on any new ideas generated over lunch) and ideally some resolutions on what was talked about and agreed.
From this meeting a 'recommendations to funding agencies' will be produced and sent to dozens of policy and funding organisations for their consideration. This report is written under 'Chatham House Rules', therefore identities and organisations will remain anonymous.
