What is it about?

PlantHUB is a European Industrial Doctoral Programme (EID) funded by the H2020 PROGRAMME Marie Curie Actions – Peo-ple, Initial Training Networks (H2020-MS-CA-ITN-2016). The programme is managed by the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center. PlantHUB offers training to 10 PhD students in skills and competencies necessary to apply responsible research and innovation (RRI) in the area of plant breeding and pro-duction. The programme addresses the demand for RRI leadership in plant science related research and diffusion of innovation.

Responsible Research and Innovation in Plant SciencesSeptember 10–14, 2018, Einsiedeln, Switzerland

Responsible Research and Innovation in Plant Sciences

Social transformation through innovation and research are key elements in the dis-cussion on how the global community could overcome its complex problems related to environmental and economic constraints in a resource-limited world. Innovation conflicts arise when transformation is mainly technological driven and not integrat-ing ethical, legal and social issues. In response, scientists are asked to take a role in science-in-society dialogue.

What does science-in-society mean?Knowledge that is adapted to societal needs is co-produced between different stake-holders including scientists. Spaces for social learning and transformation are cre-ated. Public engagement is key in this process – welcoming civil society actors as partners to express their values and interests in techno-scientific and innovation choices. We have to re-think the scientific research process, opening spaces for the public at the beginning of a research project to come together with the scientists and reflect on the question, which innovation and research should be fostered: By whom? Why? In which ways? Says who?

In this summer school, we will implement the responsible research and innovation framework (RRI) of the European Union in exemplary research fields of plant sci-ences, inlcuding plant breeding, smart farming, digitalization in agriculture or genome editing (CRISPR/Cas-method). You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own research project.

We guide you through the science-in-society research processes that includes the following dimensions: Anticipating a wide range of possible futures with the pub-lic and stakeholders. Become reflective about involved values and interests. Open-ing the research process to all actors, providing them with meaningful information, including different perspectives and expertise across a diversity of communities. And, be responding and adapting research to societal needs and views.

Invited speakers will give insight into their research field, conduct interactive work-shops and take part in discussions. They will act as mentors in the case studies group work, which will be available as summer school proceedings.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the summer school, participants will:

• Understand the responsible research and innovation (RRI) framework.• Gain tools for co-producing knowledge.• Know how to carry out constructive ethical assessment, technology assessment

and anticipation techniques.• Be able to apply design thinking.• Understand public engagement and deliberation in research.• Understand transition management.• Build a responsible research and innovation process for your own project

through case studies and best practice examples.

Organization of Student Work

Before summer school• Application includes description of motivation and background.• Preparatory reading: Students will need to read the assigned literature before

the summer school.

During summer school• Sessions are composed as lectures, discussions and case study work.• Group work will be done on case studies, individual working time on this

assignment is expected to be 10 h.• Presentation and integration: At the end of each afternoon, 1 group presents

their experiences and insights - Open Format.• Case study presentations on day 5.

After summer school• Groups submit a finalized version of their case study for inclusion in the PSC

summer school proceedings.
