“Throughout the whole day, we all felt the urgency of the issue. We felt the commitment. We felt the solidarity by people who are willing to cross borders, not only internationally, but also across disciplines and institutional positions. But of course, at the same time, we were all confronted with the complexity of the matters we are dealing with. The keynotes made it quite clear that we are entering a complex zone with a lot of issues, tensions and paradoxes.”
