The overall objective of the Meeting of Minds initiative is to involve European citizens in assessing and publicly discussing the issue of brain science with relevant research, policy and ethics experts, various stakeholders as well as representatives of European decision-making organisations.
The Meeting of Minds - European Citizens' Deliberation on Brain Science initiative has to be understood as a serious, concerted attempt by leading organisations in the field to move participatory technology assessment and foresight to the European cross-national level.

  A meeting of minds
Meeting of experts are designed to smooth the path of specialist evidence into court by giving experts working on the same case a chance to iron out their differences outside of the courtroom.
Examples of this, which have been seen occasionally, include instances where no joint statement is produced and each expert produces his or her own statement, and those where the joint statement is a huge, difficult to follow document amounting to a third report.
Where the experts are firm in their views and disciplined in their approach, the meeting can result in a joint statement which clearly and concisely identifies points agreed and dis-agreed.

 Meeting of Minds
Running a virtual meeting takes preparation, special skills to ensure that all participants are engaged and an understanding that technology should facilitate -- not overpower -- the meeting's agenda.
Many experts recommend appointing a moderator or facilitator to keep the meeting moving and to help meeting leaders keep track of participants waiting to speak.
Choreographing a virtual meeting takes more time and effort than running a face-to-face get-together, but companies that want to compete on a global scale have no choice but to excel at this.

The urgency of this task is underlined by what happened to this year's World Bank/International Monetary Fund meetings: first, they were reduced to two from seven days because of threats posed by violent anti-globalisation protests; then they were cancelled as a result of further threats by possible terrorist attacks.
It is an exceptionally important meeting where we hope finally to launch the new multilateral trade round.
A meeting along these lines would put a stop to the increasingly violent protests that we have become accustomed to because there would be no one place in which to protest.

We should not forget that the first meeting of modern times, between Archbishop Fisher and Pope John XXIII in 1960 was a guarded affair on both sides.

The debate constituted a referendum on The Presbyterian Layman.
