This book, partially, follows the structure of the Expert meeting we hold online in 2021. As already mentioned, the Expert meeting was designed to foster interdisci- plinary discussion. The aim was to enable cross learning that would allow us to reach conclusions in ever field enlightened by other fields and perspectives.

Neuroscience and Health
Organization and Policies
Care and Flourishing
The Arts, History and Literature
