Morsi) SATURDAY SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS On Saturday morning participants will reconvene in smaller groups from 09:00 onwards to discuss three issues: 1) HDF-S: Planning for approved observing runs. Planning of resubmission for next VLT deadline at end of March. (coordinator M. Dennefeld) 2) VLT Large Programme: Discussion of submission of a possible "large programme" on clusters for the next VLT deadline. This possibly to be joint with the Weak Lensing Network. (coordinators: White, Mellier...) 3) New Network(s): The proposed schedule for approving new networks under Framework V means that we must discuss possible new initiatives now. One possibility would be a network dedicated specifically to large-scale simulation of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and larger structures. Other suggestions? (coordinators: Frenk, Bouchet,...)
