Editors: Elisa Felicitas Arias, Ludwig Combrinck, Pavel Gabor, Catherine
Hohenkerk, P. Kenneth Seidelmann

"In this symposium speakers took a closer look at time in astronomy,
other sciences, cultures, and business as a defining element of modern
civilization. The symposium aimed to set the stage for future
timekeeping standards, infrastructure, and engineering best practices
for astronomers and the broader society. At the same time the program
was cognizant of the rich history from Harrison's chronometer to today's
atomic clocks and pulsar observations. The theoreticians and engineers
of time were brought together with the educators and historians of
science, enriching the understanding of time among both experts and the
public."
