THE SKA KEY SCIENCE WORKSHOP

The goals of the Workshop were the following:

1.- Further develop KSP concepts

• A notional KSP list has emerged from the SKA1 Science prioritization process, but this is only a representative placeholder, and will be continually reviewed. --> This workshop has provided a forum for open discussion of KSP concepts, reviewing the notional list and identifying missing concepts

2.- Support development of potential KSP collaborations

• There will ultimately be a competitive process of KSP proposal submission, evaluation and allocation, implying that all discussions at this stage are informal and come with no guarantees.--> This workshop has provided a forum for the key areas of interest of particular communities to be presented, leadership aspirations to begin to be identified and resourcing strategies to begin development.

3.- Maximizing commensality

• It is likely that the same data stream will serve multiple KSP or PI-led groups, each with limited data rights to address specific scientific objectives. --> This workshop has provided a forum for early discussion of support for such commensal programs, including the development of efficient survey strategies intending to maximise the scientific return of the KSP package.
