Day 2

The second day of the workshop consisted of three breakout sessions organized around the three different themes (see list from previous day) of CI challenges facing the participating EONs. Each breakout session generated a report / presentation about possible solutions or next steps in addressing that set of challenges. These reports were then used as a starting point for the workshop report.
