 Good morning, that's all I can say, I'm sorry I can't represent all the diversity of languages that are represented by SEI across the world. I'd just like to say a few words to welcome you to the SEI science forum and to give a little bit of an introduction. As many of you know, the science forum is an annual event now which is an amazing opportunity for SEI researchers to discuss their work with colleagues and for the Institute overall to showcase its efforts to external partners. The event allows SEI staff to share its work across the centres, across the research themes and various initiatives in order to explore different perspectives on critical issues to identify new ideas for future work, strategic partnerships and opportunities to support policy that underpins sustainable development. If you've had a chance to look at the programme, we've organised this year's programme into eight sessions and these range from SEIs established work on water governance, vulnerability, resilience and adaptation, air quality, climate change and air pollutants, as well as emerging areas such as inclusive energy transitions, fossil fuels scarcity and overabundance, as well as integrated research and governance approaches for sustainable development, engaging households and businesses, developing and applying stakeholder engagement tools and also strengthening links between research and policy. So it's quite a packed programme that I think really reflects the diversity of work that SEI is doing. So the organising team has tried to put together from 68 abstracts that have been submitted and reviewed to come up with a programme that we hope will be exciting to listen to and to be inspiring and engaging and we've also tried to organise these two days to allow lots of time for discussion, for interaction between staff and guests as well as some well deserved breaks. So we will have in the programme over these two days a total of 44, all presentations and 13 poster presentations. Being asked to organise the scientific programme was a great honour for me and I'd like to thank the executive team and trust me with that responsibility. So please allow me to as well thank everyone who's been involved in preparing the event. There's been quite a few people involved in Bangkok, Babette Resurrection unfortunately who's not here with us today but Hanuyan, Eric Campanadik, Rajesh Daniels as well as the local organising committee here in Stockholm. Ilva Rilanda, Johan Shilinstiana, Mons Nielsen, Ian Coldwell, Hannah Widdell and of course the SEI communications team which are Clay Howard Cambridge and Tom Gill and I hope I haven't forgotten anyone here. Of course last but not least I'd like to thank all the presenters who will be telling us about their great work here over the next couple of days, the session chairs and everyone else who has contributed to and will be contributing over the next two days to make this an enjoyable and successful event. So I wish you an inspiring and enjoyable couple of days here at SEI. Thank you very much.
