In order to facilitate and enable a rich interaction environment a large part of the workshop will be dedicated towards discussion using the open-space methodology. The open-space methodology facilities and enables effective on site agenda building and execution.

The co-organizers of the workshop had successfully deployed open-space agenda building in previous scientific workshops in the past - e.g., Friend of a Friend Workshop in Galway, 2004, the ALPSWS workshop in Seattle 2006, which was always received very positively and adequate for workshops of this kind.

The open discussions and especially the way the agenda is built in interaction with the audience, gives rise to expect new initiatives to develop and have further impact on the future.
