• a description of the scientific impact of the program for this research area,
• a description of specific research problems that will be central to the program,
• a list of suggested participants with expected stay duration, most of whom should have indicated their interest in coming to the program for a substantial period of time,
• approximate numbers of other participants who cannot be named at this moment (for example, participants of the student school, etc.),
