  Additional suggestions or material (for example one or two slides) presented which may be used to generate topics of interest. For example, general topics may include (please suggest your topic / contribution in advance): • Production of 229Th/ 229mTh at on-line accelerator facilities (e.g. GSI, Jyväskylä,…) • Off-line production/sources of 229Th • Low-energy isomers (in addition to 229Th), quest for alternative candidates • Open questions in theory (Atomic Physics, Nuclear Physics, the interface between both) • New collaborations, student exchange • Mechanisms for funding
