On July 5, 6, and 7, the QUB team hosted a meeting in Belfast to discuss conceptual frameworks and important theoretical principles. In addition to the QUB team, Alessandro Vinciarelli, Marc Schröder, Isabella Poggi, Dirk Heylen, Marc Mehu were in attendance. During the meeting, a Declaration of Belfast was written (will be distributed at a later date) regarding research in SSP, and a possible special issue on the conceptual issues in SSP was proposed (more details to be released later).
