05/02/2024 | In cooperation with other Leibniz institutes, ZMT is organizing a virtual conference on Planetary Justice and Societal Responsibility in International Sustainability Sciences and Scientific Cooperation taking place in march 13 and 14.
About the Conference:
Sustainable solutions to global challenges require international cooperation between scientific and civil society actors from very different contexts. Against the background of global responsibility with regard to sustainability, this concerns in particular the cooperation between actors from the Global North and South. Due to different cultural or socio-economic circumstances and a larger set of ethical considerations relevant in an international sustainability context, it is necessary to jointly reflect on the question of research in societal responsibility with international partners.
Join us for this conference, where experts and researchers engaging in international sustainability research from the Global South and the Global North will come together, jointly examine the extent to which Sustainability Sciences do justice to different aspects of societal responsibility, to what extent understandings and conditions differ in the international context, and what role reflection criteria such as those developed in the LeNa Shape project (Project website: https://www.nachhaltig-forschen.de/) can play in international sustainability science and scientific cooperation. Our collective aim is to foster a collaborative reflection on Societally Responsible Research, particularly in the context of global North-South collaborations.
Call for Participation:
We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to join us in the conference. Share your insights, research findings, and innovative approaches in areas including (but not limited to):
- Ethical considerations and dilemmas faced in research partnerships between the Global North and South
- Embracing diversity: knowledge integration and acknowledging multiple knowledge systems
- Quality criteria and defining scientific excellence across borders
- Evolving perspectives on Global North-South collaborations
- Use of Real World Laboratories
- Maximizing local societal impact: strategies for international collaboration research projects
- Enablers and applied solutions for responsible research
- Integrating Societal Responsibility in Science-to-Policy translation
...and more!
