This conference has been one of the best academic events (offline and online) that I have ever attended. The organisers took a lot of effort to make this a truly interdisciplinary event - with outstanding success. The event itself was highly interesting, with a lot of cutting-edge talks from various disciplines that complemented each other in the best possible way. I also very much appreciated the constructive and open-minded discussions following each talk. I cannot think of anything that could have been done better or that should be improved for future events.
Thank you for organizing this absolutely amazing event. I’ve learned so much throughout the past few days and I really did enjoy all the lively discussions across disciplines we had.
I think this was just a terrific prompt for a conference of something that I just don't know what field it counts as being in, and that's a very good thing. I'm just sorry that my day job didn't allow me to participate more than I've been able to, but terrific thing. Great conference, well done!
This is really fantastic, the whole conference, the conference that happened before… True multidisciplinarity - as it is sometimes called behind closed door as a kind of derogatory term - is something that is exceedingly rare, and so this group of people sort of nurturing that I think is a really really fantastic kind of thing

Overall, a highly informative, stimulating event, with some great discussions following the talks. Allowing the extra time for such discussions was a capital idea. Thanks for organizing!
I don't normally go to generalist conferences, but I very much enjoyed this one, probably because the talks seemed to be at the right (generalist) level.
