+ concise (1 min) presentation (by the Thematic Line Leader) of the expertise, main research activities and publications of each team member (researchers and students), based on an 1-page slide.

+ Thematic Line Leader: main ongoing and planned research activities, what has been done in the ~first year (selected publications, externally funded projects), priorities for the future, what needs to be done to consolidate and further enhance the visibility of the Thematic Line, ...

+ presentation of selected projects, results, codes etc. by 4-5 team members

+ mid-term, larger-scale projects requiring (or benefiting from) the participation of a substantial part of the Thematic Line in both nodes

+ ongoing externally funded European/international collaborations (e.g. SELGIFS)
