The programme included four sessions, three of which took place on Thursday and one on Friday morning. During the first session, Jari Kaukua's and Hanne Appelqvist's successful project applications were duly recognized. After this, the CoE members reported on some interesting conference activities that they had participated in during the last year or so.

In the second session, Risto Saarinen presented information on the Academy of Finland procedures and practicalities of the second half of the CoE during 2017-2019. There was also an opportunity to discuss various related issues and raise questions that came to mind.
The third and final session of Thursday began with Antti Ruotsala's presentation of his studies of Mongol and other Asian cultures. After the talk, we heard musical presentations by Panu-Matti Pöykkö on the guitar, and by Aku Visala on the piano.

After the final session of the first day, we proceeded to enjoy some evening snack together with free conversation and more music.
The Friday morning session then consisted in some group work towards the application required for the latter part of the CoE period. In the early Friday afternoon, after lunch and the official conclusion, the board held its meeting while some other CoE members participated in a guided tour of the Villa Hvittorp.
