Workshop Description and Objectives

This EDT scientific workshop aims to bring together all the scientific community involved in the EDT program to collectively share, discuss, and refine the overarching scientific vision of EDT. It will provide a unique opportunity to align perspectives, identify common challenges, and strengthen synergies across projects.

The workshop will feature plenary sessions (e.g., keynotes) as well as interactive working groups. These groups will be defined during the workshop and will focus on specific scientific topics that are both transversal and relevant to the various focused projects.
