 nRational\nSmall imminent impactors are now routinely being detected befor
 e impact and allow the support of a new collaborative model for planetary 
 defence. Most pre-impact cases to date are in the metre-range where we can
  combine pre-entry telescopic observations with atmospheric measurements f
 rom fireball networks\, radar\, infrasound\, and space-based sensors. This
  end-to-end chain provides a unique testbed for linking orbit\, entry beha
 vior\, and physical properties within a single event. Europe has strong ca
 pabilities across all these techniques\, but the interfaces between commun
 ities remain fragmented. This workshop brings them together to build workf
 lows from detection to characterisation to fireball analysis to combined i
 nterpretation\, improving both near-term operational readiness and the sci
 entific basis for assessing future impact threats. \nWorkshop goals\n\nMa
 p the end-to-end European workflow for imminent impactors: detection\, rap
 id telescopic follow-up\, atmospheric observation\, and integrated post-ev
 ent analysis. \nDefine coordination interfaces between communities to ena
 ble rapid multi-network response. \nEstablish how combined pre-impact and
  atmospheric datasets can constrain trajectory\, physical properties\, and
  impact effects for future planetary-defence readiness. \nBuild sustained
  communication channels between the astronomer/planetary-defence comunity 
 and the meteor community\, including regular cross-community exchanges\, s
 hared terminology\, and clear points of contact for imminent-impact events
 . \n\n \nTentative sessions:\n\nRadar observations\nAll sky camera netwo
