Discuss the current status and challenges of HPC integration in Europe (combining conclusions with other regions). 
Compile a list of the impediments to integration in two columns: things that can be solved or improved and things that just need to be accommodated or worked around. 
Develop a list of topics we believe would benefit from dedicated working groups. - Develop solutions or plans for solutions in areas when possible
Write a document to capture the discussions and main conclusions, with the aim of writing a white paper 
Format
No talks! Single slides to structure/guide the discussion allowed/encouraged.
