9 Topics — 1 wrap-up session — 5 days

2 sessions/day — 1 hour each session.

​

A plenary speaker will introduce each of the nine Scientific Topics.

The meeting will end with a panel discussion with the panel composed of
the plenary speakers and the discussion moderated by one of the scientific
organizing committee (SOC) members. Slack will be used to moderate discussion, and a link will be sent to the participants before the conference starts. The SOC will endeavor to obtain a balanced mix of seniority, gender and geographical origin among the presenters and session chairs.

The sessions will take place on Zoom and live broadcasted and recorded via
YouTube. Contributed prerecorded talks will also be made available via
YouTube, ahead of the sessions.

We will post a report on arXiv shortly after the meeting and solicit further input from the community, before we finalize a White Paper to be published after the conference.

We expect to then select a topic we have a reasonable chance of success to solve, to focus on and coordinate in the following triennium. In doing so we also wish to seek out and support new talent who have the promise to make key contributions to this objective.
