2. Discussion Brief recapitulation on the ideal system’s requirements
Visual species identification (Moths, skyscanner4birds, ….)
Acoustic species identification
VOCs
DNA barcoding of samples …
Identification of some Computer Sciences (no)challenges / tools needed
Automated visual classification of images and audios
First step needed: Work towards establishing one first working prototype station.  No aspirations for building a network.

3. Discussion
How to establish a ground DB, i.e. ingesting internet resources.
Difficulties in the integration of citizen science data and efforts. In particular the question how useful the work in the “Lebendiger Atlas - Natur Deutschland” really is in this context.
Incentives for engagement.
Co-allocation with existing efforts – e.g. some long-term monitoring platform like the Hainich (ICOS towers, Biodiv. Exploratories, etc.), link with ecosystem scale processes. Learn from the experience here: Value of long-term time- series for monitoring…
Funding schemes for hardware.
Small positioning paper as outcome - lead by Wolfgang (time-line to be set)
