How to maneuver the discussions/work if we are something like 35 persons with 2 rather big rooms at our disposal (and perhaps smaller groups can find some space in the surroundings as well)? Having a common discussion all along might be difficult (or not so productive). Depending on how we divide the sessions, one may start thinking about how to compose the material out of your material.

Here are some ideas for group feedback:

  • [30 minutes] begin with a brief common presentation and discussion on progress to date and next steps for subgroups (build more details on framework for conduction case studies); answer any general questions
  • [1.5 hours] Break into ~4 subgroups with ~8 people each, trying to get even representation from each WG in each, including one of us in each (because it looks like case studies have already been discussed by each WG in Greece, now we could try to synthesize across WGs). All groups would have the same assignment: to review the current state of the case study framework, provide feedback, and develop more detail.
  • [30 min] Groups would report a summary of their suggestions back to whole group
  • [30 min] Synthesis discussion

Another matter is the case study STC and how it can be fruitfully used before, at and after the meeting? Is there some kind of assignments we should give to the STC (with one member from each WG)?
