The first day of the conference will be devoted to one keynote speech on each of the three RECON models, as well as one roundtable on each model to allow for more in-depth discussions on the models and on preliminary findings from the project. The broader academic community as well as policy makers, civil society actors and the wider public will be invited to this session.
The second day will be devoted to parallel work package sessions for the discussion of ongoing research, status of work and plans for the remainder of the project. At a concluding plenary session, summaries of the previous parallell sessions will be presented, and general findings and plans ahead will be discussed and drafted.
