• Review/(update where necessary) the science goals of EJSM
• Review latest science results at Jupiter and gather any further science topics that could be addressed by EJSM within the current payload baseline
• Discuss synergies offered by two spacecraft operating simultaneously in the Jupiter System
• Review the status of the instrument studies performed under the ESA Declaration of Interest activities
• Discuss potential contribution to the exploration of the Jupiter system by the JAXA Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter and the RSA Europa Lander, both of which are under consideration
