Dear Keith

Many thanks for your message.
I would like your opinion about the following provisional program, if you
have time to rapidly go through on Wednesday.
It is not easy and everybody cannot speak in pleanry sessions. Just theme
leaders, and representative of international (EU, ESF....) projects.
Working groups are as important as plenary sessions, and very body should
be free to present his experience and discuss. I have organized the program
with this aim. What do you think about?

All the best, and thaks again
