  Jets, new opportunities 1h
  
  Many qualitatively novel jet measurements are currently explored by experimentalists and by theorists. What are the opportunities for fundamental progress and how do we make best use of them?
  
  Speakers: Abhijit Majumder (Wayne state university), Guilherme Teixeira De Almeida Milhano (LIP-Lisbon & CERN TH)

  Jet-medium interactions 1h
  
  All interpretations of jet quenching rely on strong jet-medium interactions. However, experimental characterizations of how the medium responds to jet propagation remain ephemeral to date. What are perspectives for substantial progress?
  
  Speakers: Dr Andreas Morsch (CERN), Eero Aleksi Kurkela (CERN)

  Heavy Quarks 1h
  
  Significant detector upgrades at LHC aim at a better characterization of heavy quark propagation and fragmentation/hadronization in hot and dense QCD matter. What is needed to make full use of these opportunities at the LHC? How can sPhenix contribute in the coming years
  
  Speakers: Federico Antinori (Universita e INFN, Padova (IT)), James Lawrence Nagle (University of Copenhagen (DK))

  Electromagnetic probes 1h
  
  From thermal radiation to dilepton pairs to triggering of the energy of recoiling jets, electromagnetic probes play an important role in our thinking of how to best characterize hot and dense QCD matter. However, at hadron colliders, we are still far from realizing the potential opportunities arising from these probes. What is needed?

  Opportunities arising from combined measurements at RHIC and LHC 1h
  
  Many qualitatively novel jet measurements are currently explored by experimentalists and by theorists. What are the opportunities for fundamental progress and how do we make best use of them?
  In the mid-term future, data from sPhenix and future measurements at LHC will allow for comparative studies of hard processes acros
