| Food and energy are the great challenges for modern societies, both producing enough for the growing world population as well as producing and distributing them environmentally friendly, fair and equitable. Their footprint on land, biodiversity, ecosystems, water, soil and their impact on climate is enormous. Establishing food and energy systems that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is of uttermost importance to stay within the planetary boundaries. Societal transfor- mation through innovation and research are key elements in the discussion how the global community could overcome its complex problems, related to environmental, social and eco- nomic constraints in a resource-limited world. Innovation conflicts arise when transformation is mainly technological driven and is not taking up the environmental, ethical, legal and social issues of society. In response scientists are asked to take a role in science-in-society dialogue and especially if their research is related to fulfilling the SDGs. We need knowledge, innovation and solutions that are adapted to societal needs and are co-produced between different stakeholders including scientists. In this process, public and stakeholder engagement is key – welcoming actors from civil society as partners to express their values and interests in scientific, technological and innovation choices. As a result, we have to re-think the scientific research process, opening spaces for the public at the begin- ning of a research project. The aim is to generate through participation, deliberation and mutual learning a transformation of complex systems for a sustainable and equitable future. In this summer school, we will implement the Responsible Research and Innovation frame- work to exemplary case studies addressing sustainable food systems, sustainable transition pathways in the energy sector; and sustainable land use decisions. | |
