Future of TANGO

The afternoon of the 5th of September was dedicated to the topic of The Future of TANGO. Each institute made a presentation of 15 minutes on what they saw as the future of TANGO e.g. what they would have liked to download as part of TANGO in 5 years. This was followed by a discussion session and conclusions on where TANGO is going.
