Use of AI/ML.
1. How are our projects using AI/ML currently? Are there any planned explorations or explorations that we wish to carry out but need help for?
2. Among the many different research activities that can benefit the development, evaluation, and application of E3SM (e.g., understanding observations, constructing fine-scale process models, developing parameterizations, harmonizing components in large-scale models, tuning uncertain parameters, identifying model deficiencies, etc.), are there sweet spots - or known bad hit places - for the use of AI/ML techniques?
Collaboration between SciDAC projects and the E3SM project.
1. What are E3SM’s development plans in the next years? We plan to get an overview from SciDAC project team members who are also on E3SM’s leadership team.
  1. CMIP7 scenarios / new model configurations
2. In the context of E3SM’s planned changes in programming language as well as the anticipated changes in HPC software and hardware, how can we better position SciDAC projects for the integration of their products into E3SM?
Collaboration between domain scientists and computational scientists.
1. Collaborations between domain scientists and computational scientists are known to be very challenging. Colleagues who have gone through more than 1 SciDAC cycle have had the general impression that fruitful collaborations require commitment from both sides and willingness to make long-term investment. Do we have success stories and lessons to share? Are we facing any specific challenges? Are there ways to further facilitate the interdisciplinary collaborations?
Computing resource discussion
1. Compare notes on: what machines we run on, what computational budgets we need/use, tips and tricks for maximizing resources (e.g. queue strategies)

PIs and BER project participants, please feel free to add your suggestions or comments here.

Draft agenda

Session	Talks/topics	Notes
Welcome
SESSION 1 (2 hr)
	Xujing overview/intro 10 min
	Project updates (70 min) 10 minutes each	NOT a complete overview - assume other participants are familiar with your project [link to last year’s overview talks] 1 slide on high level overview reminder 3-4 slides of project highlights over the past year - either actual highlight slides submitted to BER or other activities at that level. Focus on the BER/ASCR collaboration part of the activity and less on the scientific details. Can include significant capabilities you have developed that may be of interest to other projects. 1-2 slides on specific challenges, change in scope. It’s ok to admit adjustments - these are high risk projects and we will all learn from how each of us have had to modify our plans.
	Discussion (45 min) Led by Mauro & SJ collab between domain scientists and comp scientists Perspective of comp. scientists on how working with Earth system projects compares with other application areas in which they work. What can be learned from other subject areas.	We will not have Institute talks like we did last year [link to last year] Instead focus more time on group discussion
SESSION 2 (2 hr)
	Presentations about future E3SM Plans (60 min) 10-15 min each with questions Wuyin (atm) Luke (ocean, sea ice) Gautam (land, river) Discussion (~ 30 min ) expectations for transition plans for scidac capabilities into E3SM collab between scidac and e3sm [link to questions, inviting
	Discussions (1 hour) [add links for each topic with provocative questions and invite participants to add questions] collab between scidac and e3sm AI/ML discussion Perspective of comp. scientists on how working with Earth system projects compares with other application areas in which they work. What can be learned from other subject areas. computing resource discussion (time permitting)	expectations for transition plans for scidac capabilities into E3SM
	(Prepare for ~12 min report-back to plenary)
