Agenda for the meeting will be:
0-5 mins: Introduction to the IG (Sandra Gesing)
5-45 mins: Should we develop common reference models for VREs? (Chair Sandra Gesing)

Introduction to existing frameworks (5 min) (Sandra Gesing)
Rob Quick: Overview on Apache Airavata and US-based frameworks – lessons learned (5 min)
Guido Aben: Overview on Australian-based frameworks – lessons learned (5 min)
Guido Aben: Overview on European-based frameworks – lessons learned (5 min)
Panel discussion: Would we like to develop a common reference model? Should we set it up a working group? Who wants to join the WG? (20 min)

Rob Quick
Guido Aben
Christine Kirkpatrick

45-70 mins: Catalogue of design patterns (Group discussion) (Chair Sandra Gesing)
The panel discussion was the starting point for discussing existing solutions and a common reference model. Here we would like to discuss with the audience directly design patterns – different definitions and layers (GUI, architecture, data management, workflow patterns, etc.) and their similarities. This could lead to building a catalogue of design patterns for VREs. We will prepare a Google folder so that everyone can contribute their design patterns during the discussion and also afterwards. We plan to discuss questions such as: Is it feasible to maintain a catalogue of design patterns? Would people find it helpful? Would they like to contribute?
70-90 mins: Can we make VREs FAIR? (Christine Kirkpatrick)

Introduction to the FAIR principles and what they could mean for VREs (10 min with discussions) (Christine Kirkpatrick)

Software and the FAIR principles (10 min with discussions)
