I would like your opinion about the following provisional program, if you have time to rapidly go through on Wednesday. It is not easy and everybody cannot speak in pleanry sessions. Just theme leaders, and representative of international (EU, ESF....) projects. Working groups are as important as plenary sessions, and very body should be free to present his experience and discuss. I have organized the program with this aim. What do you think about? All the best, and thaks again Francoise PEP III WORKSHOP- Provisional program. Up to now, expected participants are: D. Aritzequi, R. Battarbee, R. Bonnefille , R. Bradley, K. Briffa , F. Chalie, R.
