Specific topics have been identified and are indicated in the agenda below. The first day of the workshop will comprise an ISTP Project Meeting, overview presentations and two splinter sessions. Then there will be eight splinter sessions on the second and third days, culminating with a plenary section including summaries from the individual sessions and discussions of future plans. In addition to the workshop there will be a WIND team splinter meeting on November 3, and POLAR splinter meetings during the late afternoon of November 4 (PSI Operations) and the afternoon of November 6 (POLAR SWT Meeting).
