74 +**Goals: **
75 +
76 +* Last workshop was impulse, this should enable implementation by developing concrete action points.
77 +* Focus is on implementation
78 +* Do we need a paper? How can the results be optimally prepared?
79 +* At the end, concrete measures should emerge and be recorded (e.g. white paper, without publication, but with the aim of disseminating the measures widely)
80 +* Concrete assignments: Show on DPG, concrete “tasks” with responsible persons (to be reported, e.g. to Overview Board or next year in the workshop)

141 +
142 +* Talks, discussion and interactive parts
143 +** Interactive part: tutorial on sustainable programming
144 +* Inspiration talks for fostering our creativity, followed by the possibility to discuss and exchange. Results of the discussion could then be presented in short talks
145 +* Talks in the morning,** paper-writing sessions in the afternoon.**
146 +** Different sessions have different sections to work on in Overleaf
