Applications are now open for the 2015 Summer School: "The Precautionary Principle: Governance of innovation and innovations in governance". It will be held in Budapest (Hungary) from June 27 to July 4, 2015
The course is co-organised by Central European University (CEU), Median and the European Environment Agency (EEA). It is a pilot project of EEAcademy.
The purpose of the School is to explore challenges and possible ways forward for the effective and appropriate application of the precautionary principle in sustainability governance. It will bring together a solid and diverse group of scholars and practitioners with expertise on the precautionary principle, risk assessment and management, environment and health research, science and technology studies, the governance of innovation, environmental governance, and long term transitions to sustainability.
The School is designed as a strategic knowledge and experience sharing course at the intersection between a research-oriented course and a professional development course, dedicated to collaborative exploration and learning. It will provide intensive research training, but also allow for policy discussions in a variety of sector and contexts and, through a knowledge co-creation approach, help to identify and find solutions to course-related issues in the participants’ research, policy, and business application fields.
We aim to achieve a mix of participants and faculty from a variety of backgrounds (including both researchers and practitioners from public bodies, NGOs and business) and research interests related to the Course.
Participants from public institutions, business, NGOs and research institutions are encouraged to apply.
Application deadline is March 14, 2015. For more information on the Summer School, including a detailed course description and application instructions please visit: http://www.summer.ceu.hu/precautionary-2015, download the flyer or contact Sybille van den Hove (Sybille@median-web.eu)
