Don't miss to apply for the PSC 2018 Summer School. It offers training on the responsible research and innovation framework (RRI) of the European Union. Students will actively apply the concept to exemplary plant research fields such as breeding, smart farming, digitalization in agriculture or genome editing (CRISPR/Cas-method) including to their own research project.

In this one-week course, participants will be guided through the science-in-society research processes that include anticipation, reflection, and responsiveness and adaptation of research to societal needs and views.
