Preliminary draft agenda

This is a working structure for the workshop. Exact timings, speaker assignments and the detailed programme may still change. The final programme will also clarify whether hybrid participation is feasible and useful.

Draft status. The agenda below is intended to show the scientific progression of the workshop, not a final timetable. A detailed programme will be circulated to participants when confirmed.
Legend. PT = plenary talk (prepared expert presentation); PD = plenary discussion (open discussion, brainstorming and reactions); WG = working group (guided breakout work).
