WORKSHOP: HOME PAGE


Starting from the background paper and the 45 papers submitted, 4 main subthemes for the Work Group Sessions have been identified by the convenors.
These 4 sub-themes will be introduced by 4 keynote speakers who will present their personal view on the problems at stake. Participants will then sit together in smaller work groups to further eloborate on these sub-themes. Experiences and research from the several papers can be used as a background. Amongst others, following questions should be raised and discussed during the sessions:

  1. What is the relevance of the question raised?
  2. What are the policy implications?
  3. What are the practical implications?
  4. What are the research implications, including the organisation of the research at European level

Each work group will be structured and animated by a group of 4 to 5 chairpersons/rapporteurs. These persons have been invited by the convenors because of their various qualities (including willingness to act as chairperson/rapporteur) and expertise in the field. These same persons will be asked to formulate very briefly the key-elements of the debates of their groups.

The expected output of the 2 days debates and the closing discussion is a report which will be published afterwards, along with the syntheses of the 2 previous workshops (Venice and Geneva).
