Following previous Resilience Conference held on triennial basis since 2008, Resilience 2017 discussed resilience as a key lens for biosphere-based sustainability science. A main focus was on global sustainability challenges and opportunities. The conference had five main themes: social-ecological transformation for sustainability; connectivity and cross-scale dynamics in the anthropocene; multi-level governance and biosphere stewardship; approaches and methods for understanding social-ecological system dynamics and cross-cutting perspectives on resilience. The conference consists of plenaries, theme plenaries, contributed sessions and sessions from the Open Call for abstracts. Several conference sessions were dedicated to the bridging between art and science. In addition to this, there were six exhibitions in the public spaces of the conference venue. These exhibitions were the collaborations between artists, scientists and the public to demonstrate a variety of social-ecological systems in the past, present and future.
