Specifically, HARMONY aims to:
- (a) increase the visibility and collaboration of BLCM researchers,
- (b) promote stakeholder engagement,
- (c) provide training and networking opportunities for researchers,
- (d) create separate training opportunities for policy makers and stakeholders,
- (e) establish a free online BLCMs repository,
- (f) set up an International society for BLCMs and
- (g) organize the first international conference of this society.
