  Funding Challenges in Particle Astrophysics
  
  Discussion of current funding coming mainly through Astro and PP grants (only GW has a separate grant round). Project funding through PPRP/PRD, recent funding from QTFP. Should we, e.g. advocate for a dedicate PA funding round, or PA sub-panels in existing grants?

  Infrastructure needs for PA
  
  Is the existing funding for infrastructure adequate? Are there areas that require additional funding to enable exploitation of current data or to provide UK leadership on future projects?

  Priorities for the next 20 years
  
  What are the potential, major discoveries on the 20 year timeframe? What must we do now to ensure the UK has a leading role in them?

  Priorities for the next 5 years
  
  What are the likely science highlights in particle astro in the coming 5 years? What are the priorities in each of the research areas? Is there a way to prioritize overall?
