DESCRIPTION:Recent developments of multi frequency receivers with shared o
 ptical path (SOP) have brought a number of new scientific and technologica
 l opportunities to VLBI. With these receivers\, the technique of frequency
  phase transfer (FPT) can become a true backbone of VLBI operations at fre
 quencies above 22 GHz. This opportunity has already been fully exploited a
 t the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) and it is gaining ever more prominent atte
 ntion in Europe where up to six telescopes soon may start operating three-
 band (22/43/86 GHz) SOP receivers\n\nIn the framework of the ERC AdG proje
 ct M2FINDERS and with large facility project funding from the Max Planck S
 ociety\, a three-band receiver is planned for the 100-m radio telescope in
  Effelsberg.\n\nThis workshop aims to focus and streamline all of the ongo
 ing efforts by reviewing individual plans and initiatives\, setting main s
 cientific goals and priorities\, and identifying the best approaches for o
 rganizing VLBI observations in the FPT mode. The workshop should serve as 
 a starting point of a broader process of forming a coherent effort for coo
 rdinating the FPT VLBI observations. We plan to formulate the outcomes of 
 the workshop in a report that would be submitted to the EVN\, KVN\, and GM
 VA.\n\nAttendance is by invitation only.\n\n\nWorkshop Group Picture\, tak
