The aims of the Breakout group sessions are:

• cover the working group areas identified in the Cambridge and Nice meetings;
• receive updates from co-facilitators of those groups;
• review key problem areas for the individual WGs;
• consider best ways forward in terms of specific ideas for training / workshops etc.
• consider the impact of Gaia in that WG area and note linkages to external assets;
• an outline of group actions and milestones, and interactions between groups like joint workshop, other events.
