Thank you for your
presentations!
1) Our field (and WAT programme) is diverse!
-> Interesting, but not always easy
2) Methods now thematically focused,
but generally applicable in our field
3) Yet, it is not just about implementation
-> Links to sustainability, society and related
governance – and, ultimately, to our values
