Final Programme and List of Participants
This interdisciplinary conference will present the new advances in the modelling of the Global Change that combines Geosciences and Economics, with a perspective view from history - given the novelty of their interrelations – and from political science – given the impact of the model outputs in the public sphere. The conference will gather together speakers and attendees from Europe, United-States and Asia in Porquerolles, one of the most beautiful islands of the French Riviera.
About 150 participants are expected to attend. Its originality and attractiveness will lie in the mixing of scientists concerned with the same topics but coming from disciplines far apart (from Physical and Natural Sciences to Social and Human Sciences). Speakers will use clear and understandable language while maintaining a high scientific level.
This conference, lasting 5-days will facilitate contacts and stimulate intellectual exchanges, especially among the young researchers, and future collaborations.

Scientists from each country are represented by a "national representative" (and his substitute). The national representatives coordinate activities of their country's scientists within the IMAGES project. They deliver annual activity reports which are published at the IMAGES website.
