The workshops will focus on six domains; each will consider promising areas of science within that domain, and will seek to address the following questions.
- What is the nature of frontier science in this area and how is it poised for long-term or medium-term application?
- Where and what is the potential for development impact?
- Which applications could feasibly achieve development impact through take-up into national systems, and which have long-term potential for development impact, but lack an immediate development pathway?
