Goals for this workshop

1) analyze the bottlenecks and associated risks, knowing that: - the timeline for the project is January 2012 - August

2015,

- we prefer a turn-key laser system, due to commercial conditions such as guarantees

- UE offset conditions might apply

2) initialize a review of the cost evaluation (80 Meuro)

3) to confirm the existing solutions (and identify new technological oportunities)
