The Theory-Practice Interface will be prepared and organised by WG 2. In<br />
phase 1 this WG will compile a tentative list of potential reference cities (as<br />
basis for selection process in the MC). In the following phases WG 2 focuses on<br />
the preparation and organisation of the series of workshop meetings in four<br />
reference cities with the involvement of academics and practitioners. Hence,<br />
WG 2 also acts as organising committee for the four workshops in reference<br />
