Yet another picture of some of the audience in the large conference room.	The PhD students from Copenhagen Business School seem to take an interest in the subject at hand.

Bent Dalum in action by giving a small presentation, while Alice Lam is preparing to present some of her own work.	Bent Dalum, Kurt Larsen and Ed Lorenz sitting as a part of the panel.

Foray plays a small joke on Lundvall. Foray takes a keen interest in football and has already managed to point out France as the winners of the 2000 European Championship. He highlights Zidane as the greatest player ever.	Without a small coffee break from time to time there would probably be a small revolution.

Keith Smith gives a presentation while Foray, Lazonick and Lundvall wait until it is their turn.	Steinmueller gives yet another interesting and to the point presentation. Bo Carlsson, Giovanni Dosi and Peter Maskell are listening with great interest

Many of the participants are waiting to take a bus. The conference participants have taken a couple of hours off to go and see some mines.	It was a slightly dark in the mines but candles were lit so that people could see. Meanwhile the participants enjoyed a small refreshment.

While the participants were watching some of the statues carved out in the mine, musicians where playing the traditional folk music.	Daniele Archibugi is enjoying a small 'snaps' while listening to the music and watching the (impressive) mines

The delegation is back at the conference and is keen on getting back to the presentations. Geoff Mason in particular as he is about to present.	Geoff Mason is presenting his most recent work.
