This white paper summarises the conclusions of the workshop. In this first section, the motivation and background is described. The second section then gives a short summary of the presentations and the emerging themes from discussions. Section three lists some of the key questions raised by participants, which were used to structure discussions of the Grand Challenges. The Grand Challenges were an important focus of the workshop, where the aim was to identify key research questions emerging from discussions that could inform future work. These Grand Challenges are presented in section five, and section six proposes the researchers and communities who might be involved in addressing these challenges.
