What are the main issues concerning future research on the Pantheon?
How could the questions and problems be solved (e.g. by closer
multidisciplinary co-operation)?
How should the co-operation be organised?
How should researchers join forces to obtain funding for complex
research campaigns?
Would a Pantheon Research Network to announce campaigns, projects and
results be helpful?
Would a "virtual" online library of all the literature and sources
concerning the Pantheon facilitate future research?
Would it be useful to use the Pantheon Projects Website at the Karman
Center (even when the project has ended) as a permanent online resource for
discussion, co-operation and publication?
... other questions/topics?
