The conference aims at exploring the status quo of research and practice of the sufficiency philosophy on various levels. Moreover, as initiatives such as the "Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress" (since 2008) by the French government show, there is increasing awareness globally about a need for development indicators beyond GDP and about development goals beyond economic development. Thus, in order to further define the meaning of the sufficiency economy concept the conference encourages academics and development actors from related theoretical backgrounds to share their experiences and give their take on sufficiency economy. This will bring together different views and "sharpen the edges" of sufficiency economy vis-à-vis similar approaches.
