The brainstorming took place at the AFES-PRESS library in Mosbach (Germany) on 31 May 2017, on the eve of Hans Günter Brauch’s 70th birthday. The videos and podcasts were first made available only for the participants and for the authors of the volume to emerge from this one day brainstorming. Upon publication of the book these videos can be approached directly from the electronic versions of the book by hyperlinks to allow the reader.
