Where Are We and Where Should We Go? Summary Reports of the Girona Conference Workshops

Abstract

Four parallel workshops were organized at the 1996 Girona Conference, "Blazars, Black Holes, and Jets", with conference attendees free to choose which session they would like to attend. The chosen topics were ``Jet Models'', ``Multi-Frequency Support for High-Energy Observations'', ``Monitoring of Blazars'', and ``Host Galaxies and Environments''. While the individual sessions focused on their assigned topic, the goals of all the sessions were to identify points of agreement in the field and to set a course for future research. Following several hours of lively discussions, each session chair presented to the entire conference a summary of their own group's discussion. In this collective summary we have tried to reproduce the main opinions and ideas that were generated during the workshops.
