82 +
83 +* Last workshop was impulse, this should enable implementation by developing concrete action points.
84 +* Focus is on implementation
85 +* Do we need a paper? How can the results be optimally prepared?
86 +* 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)
87 +* Concrete assignments: Show on DPG, concrete “tasks” with responsible persons (to be reported, e.g. to Overview Board or next year in the workshop)
