| 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) | ||
