ZMT Workshop on Science for Sustainability - Contribution of Transdisciplinary Knowledge Exchange

In order to contribute to social-ecological outcomes in tropical developing countries, this workshop examines the role of targeted and reciprocal knowledge exchange between research and non-scientific stakeholders. It convenes in Bremen, Germany in 18-21 January 2015.

In the face of increasing resource scarcity, growing degradation of the environment and future impacts of climate change, tackling concrete environmental issues in developing countries also critically relies on targeted and reciprocal knowledge exchange between science and non-scientific stakeholders from policy, practice, industry and commerce, and civil society.

Since this process takes place in a multidimensional and dynamic context, the obligations it raises for researchers are likewise complex, diverse, and constantly changing.

For this reason, the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) is organising the "1st ZMT Workshop on Science for Sustainability - the Contribution of Transdisciplinary Knowledge Exchange" (18th - 21st January 2015) in Bremen, Germany. The objective of the workshop is to shed light on best practice approaches that could support researchers to link scientific inquiry to knowledge exchange, so that the scientific process can be more relevant to social-ecological needs, and the information produced is publicly available and provides a basis for action.

There is no registration fee. The maximum amount of participants is 100. Any additional registrations will be placed on a waiting list.

In case of questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Bevis Fedder (bevis.fedder@zmt-bremen.de, +49(0)421 238 00 -67).

Um den Beitrag der Wissenschaft zu Umweltschutz und umweltfreundlicher Nutzung in (tropischen) Entwicklungsländern zu unterstützen, organisiert das Leibniz-Zentrum für Marine Tropenökologie (ZMT) den "1st ZMT Workshop on Science for Sustainability - the Contribution of Transdisciplinary Knowledge Exchange". Zielgerichteter Wissensaustausch spielt eine zentrale Rolle um einerseits die drängendsten sozial-ökologischen Probleme vor Ort zu identifizieren und andererseits in Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Akteuren Lösungen für die Probleme zu erforschen und diese in Politik, Gesellschaft und Praxis zu verankern. Es ist deshalb das Ziel des Workshops auf Basis bereits existierender Ansätze Empfehlungen für den Wissensaustausch zwischen Forschung und nicht-wissenschaftlichen Akteuren zu entwickeln und diese international verfügbar zu machen.

Der Workshop findet vom 18.1. bis einschließlich 21.1.2015 in Bremen statt. Veranstaltungsorte sind das ZMT und das Haus der Wissenschaft.

Auf der folgenden Website finden Sie weitere Informationen und können sich ebenfalls registrieren: http://www.zmt-bremen.de/1st_ZMT_Workshop_on_Science_for_Sustainability.html. Die maximale Teilnehmerzahl beträgt 100 Personen, und zusätzliche Anmeldungen werden auf die Warteliste gesetzt.

Wir hoffen mit unserem Workshop Ihr Interesse geweckt zu haben und freuen uns von Ihnen zu hören.

Für weitere Fragen steht Ihnen Dr. Bevis Fedder gern zur Verfügung: bevis.fedder@zmt-bremen.de, 0421 238 00 -67.
