    Seminar:            Performing Sustainable Development Goals (Esther Meyer) /
                        Sustainability and Future Studies (Senan Gardiner)

    Description:        In the Future Cafe we will be exploring the controversial aspects of sustainability. What
                        really needs to happen to arrive at a preferable future - and what ways will our
                        worldviews need to completely change? Will we be living on the land in communion with
                        genetically modified ecosystems? Or will we be passing on our biological values to the
                        new generation of cyborgs? Join us to debate and cocreate.

 Arena: Risks and potentials of trade agreements at the example of the EU-Mercosur
 agreement
 Description:      In the last couple of years, we saw thousands of people going on the street to prevent trade
                   agreements like TTIP or CETA to be put into practice. Why did so many people protest against
                   these trade agreements in the first place? And what motivated the people who originally tried
                   to put them into place? What are the real risks and potentials of these trade agreements?
                   At the moment, the EU and the Mercosur region (a group of Latin American states) are in
                   negotiations about a new trade agreement. On the one hand, advocates of the agreement
                   consider it to be a chance for the EU to have a positive impact on the region and its respective
                   political decisions. Critics, however, mention not not only negative environmental
                   consequences due to deforestation and higher exports of cheap meat or soy, but also potential
                   dangers to local economies and their value chains.
                   Political scientist and Latin America expert Prof. Dr. Detlef Nolte will give a short introductory
                   keynote on the topic of the currently discussed EU-Mercosur trade agreement and explain his
                   position supporting the agreement, followed by a dialogue with the audience. Both supporters
                   and opponents of trade agreements in general or the EU-Mercosur agreement in particular are
                   encouraged to join the debate.

                                               used to describe the female and male gender.

                                                 run out of money and can't stabilize themselves

                                                 also to teach the present and cute generations
                                                 what it means to live with nature in a respectful
                                                 way and how much we can actually learn from it.
                                                 This is why we started our research on economic
                                                 management in german eco-villages. Through
                                                 interviews we singled out how communities
                                                 should manage their finances in order to ensure a
                                                 long lifespan. In our presentation we would like to
                                                 present our findings with you, so we could all

                                                 have to be found. It is one approach to strengthen
                                                 recycling processes. At the moment, many
                                                 electronic devices, which are not in use anymore,
                                                 do not even get into the recycling process,
                                                 because they are not disposed properly. With our
                                                 research project, we aim to identify systems, that
                                                 have the capability to improve the individual
                                                 recycling behaviour within the next ten years.

 Description:         We know talking about gender can be tiring but it’s something that we all face in our
                      daily lives. We have found a way to dust off the topic and make it fun for everyone. So,

                      guaranteed wow- effect at the end and something to think about when you go home.

 Seminarplenum 25: Responsible consumers in an interconnected world

 Seminar:             Assessing the impact of palm oil, the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet,
                      from multiple perspectives. (Heike Zimmermann und Daniel Lang)

 Description:         In a workshop setting we will explore what responsible consumption entails in an
                      interconnected, globalised world, with a special focus on the production and
                      consumption of palm oil. Ecological sustainability problems arise not only ‘locally’ or
                      ‘globally’ but also due to specific interconnections between distant regions. Such
                      globally ‘telecoupled’ systems are increasingly the focus of interdisciplinary land-change
                      and social-ecological systems research. During the workshop we will explore different
                      commodity chains and their impact on systems on both sides of that chain.

                      from multiple perspectives. (Heike Zimmermann und Daniel Lang)

 Description:
                      In a workshop setting we will explore what responsible consumption entails in an
                      interconnected, globalised world, with a special focus on the production and
                      consumption of palm oil. Ecological sustainability problems arise not only ‘locally’ or
                      ‘globally’ but also due to specific interconnections between distant regions. Such
                      globally ‘telecoupled’ systems are increasingly the focus of interdisciplinary land-change
                      and social-ecological systems research. During the workshop we will explore different
                      commodity chains and their impact on systems on both sides of that chain. and
                      thchain

                                              Zarrentin exit is to be expanded and operated as a
                                              prototype of a rural mobility center.
                                              The target group includes all residents within a
                                              radius of 30 km around the commuter parking lot,
                                              but the focus is on people who do not have their

                                              Our task was to gather up data by surveying
                                              people in the area asking questions about
                                              different circumstances that are influencing the

                                               an idea. In our solution, bio-based and
                                               biodegradable plastic substitute the conventional
                                               plastic in running strips of car tyres. In that case,
                                               the microplastic would be decomposed in the
                                               environment.
                                               Is it far-fetched or possible? That´s the question!
