Session (iv) Deciding the way forward

Chair: Gosse van der Veen

Following overnight reflections, the emerging list of key priorities will be presented and discussed in plenary and in small groups, to determine the topic(s) that will be tackled in HLG international collaboration projects in 2014, as well as other topics to be addressed by the modernisation committees.

  1. Formulating the “shopping list”: Facilitated by Marton Vucsan – plenary session to identify up to ten possible HLG projects
  2. Setting the priorities: Small group discussions, each group to identify top three priorities for projects (1 hour)
  3. Plenary session: Results of small group discussions. Each group will have 10 minutes to present the priorities that were identified during their discussions. A summary list of priorities will be agreed.
