A series of highly inspirational lectures will be complemented by a day at the BBS Campus dedicated to collaborative activities, discussion and networking.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the foundations of society will take participants beyond geographical and disciplinary boundaries, encouraging them to examine the values that underpin our world and the ways in which those values shape professional, social and personal choices.
