Welcome, meeting goals and program
Introduction to the SynCom Programme

13:30 → 13:45 Roundtable introduction of partcipants

13:45 → 14:00 Short introduction to the project

Objectives, actions, deliverables

14:00 → 15:00 World Café

Tables of 5-6 people to discuss scientific knowledge (aim is to hear expertise of different partners); 10 min per table.
Topics come from the Homework:
• What are the most important findings from your work related to Cu/Li from geothermal water in the NGB that should be communicated in a syntheses paper?
• What is the most interesting scientific question related to the topic?
• What is the most urging (societal/economically relevant) question when it comes to the development of Copper or Lithium extraction from geothermal fluids of the North German Basin?
