Final conference of the project is usually a time for reflection on a project activities, review of successes and weak points, and then placing project outcomes and results in spatial, social, environmental and economic context. The SARM International Conference, however, is somewhat different. On the one hand, it is the final conference of the project, but on the other hand, it is also an International Conference that welcomes the contributions of interested experts and encourages presentation of different views, including those coming from outside the SARMα project. The last few years have been strongly marked by the continuing economic crisis in the world. The European Union has not escaped these problems, as is evident in the substantial decrease in production (supply) of aggregates during this time period. Hopefully, in the next few years the outlook will become more optimistic, primarily on the basis of renewed economic momentum, as well as faster societal development. In both scenarios (crisis and economic renewal) a need for different approaches to aggregates resources management and supply at all scales (from local, regional, and national to transnational) are needed. The goals of the SARMα project,
