 Moderated Audience-Panel Discussion


 Workshop Insights and the Road Ahead

 
The "panel of experts" will be everyone who is  seated in the  audience.  Representatives of  the "next generation" of scientists and  engineers will chair a moderated discussion. 

 If you are a professional participating in the  workshop, then you are the expert. From your  perspective, what are the guiding insights and  goals that you see going forward?

 Where to we go from here?
