b) to foster the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of research projects, especially initiatives which have influenced behavior, decision-making, or policy;
c) to discuss methodological approaches and projects which aim to offer  a better understanding of sustainability across society and economic sectors; and
d) to network the participants and provide a platform so they can explore possibilities for further cooperation.
