The aim of this workshop is to prepare the exploitation of Gaia data, the first release of which will be in about one year ( Gaia releases ). The format, as previously, is that participants are invited to apply their favorite techniques to mock data in an effort to recover underlying physical quantities, like the gravitational potential and the phase-space structure of stars. The mock data will be distributed in advance, and the workshop itself is focused in comparing and discussing results, honing the various techniques, and building collaborations. The challenges are divided into five broad categories. All of them continue from the previous workshops held in Surrey, UK, and Heidelberg, Germany. For the present edition, two groups have been enlarged to include the task to build the “3D extinction map ” and to discuss on powerful and robust statistical techniques to achieve “the stellar luminosity calibration” in the Gaia era.
