Afterwards the Area 2 project team (working on the environmental and physical dimension of the WWWforEurope project) presented their work related to the conference topic.
The second day of the conference was dedicated to the presentation of research papers dealing with growth and socio-ecological transition which were discussed by experts with a special focus on their contribution to modelling growth and socio-ecological transition.
The aim of the conference was to promote the exchange of ideas among researchers active in the broad field of applied modelling, taking into account smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The availability of models incorporating the social and the environmental dimension is an important prerequisite to objectively and realistically evaluate the potential consequences of a socio-ecological transition.
