It was hard to hear the speakers and I’m sorry that I haven’t recorded the individual responses and should have recorded them to get a more detailed response, but a commonly mentioned subject seemed to be “The Heart of Science”. Mention was also made of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDG’s). There are becoming a part of business strategic planning.
And to me was a very positive outcome from the Santos Experience, if nothing else.
