Structure of the WorkshopThe Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) workshop, held December 3-5, 2002 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, D.C., is structured around a combination of plenary sessions and breakout groups. Keynote Plenary Addresses:Invited keynote addresses by national and international government and science leaders will be presented in plenary sessions each day during the workshop. Breakout Groups:There are four Breakout Groups during the three days of the workshop. Breakout Groups 1-3 will focus on specific elements of the Strategic Plan, and Breakout Group 4 will focus on crosscutting issues across the plan. Within each Breakout Group there are six concurrent sessions, each focusing on different topics of the Strategic Plan. One breakout session, Climate Variability and Change, is duplicated due to interest by a large number of participants. Most of the Breakout Sessions will be conducted with the format outlined below. Some of the breakout sessions will have a slightly modified format, to accommodate their specific design. The basic format will include: Review Plenary Sessions:The moderator and rapporteurs will prepare a brief summary of the key issues discussed during each breakout session, and the moderator will present this summary of key issues in a subsequent plenary session. The moderator and rapporteurs will also be responsible for preparation of a more complete written record of each breakout group, for posting on this web site. Closing Plenary Session:The workshop will conclude with an invited panel presentation of feedback and lessons learned during the workshop, a summary of key workshop findings (including areas of agreement and disagreement), and a description of the process for integrating workshop feedback into the revised research plan, and for subsequent reporting of findings. |
