The interdisciplinary conference is targeted at academics, activists and  experts working in the fields of economy, politics, social welfare and environment but it is aimed also at the broader public and the media. The  programme of the conference is designed to enable discussion  between keynote speakers, politicians, activists and experts and it aims to make the concept of degrowth more widely known in Finland. The conference is free of charge and we expect audience of around 500 people. Conference languages are English, Finnish and French and a translation from French to English will be organised.

Retaining a focus on craft and the object, Culture Laboratory Collective operates as an ongoing investigation in media interchangeability and aesthetic fluidity.
