After the
workshop we hope to have a much better idea of how to get the
research and operational sectors to pay more attention to each
other. It is unlikely that this first attempt at combining
the two worlds will be optimal, but we expect to come away from
the workshop with a sense of excitement about the new interactions
and a sense of how to structure future workshops to foster and
continue these interactions.
