Autumn 2009
24-25 September 2009 at DJF Foulum, Aarhus University
Most scientists claim their research to be contributing to a sustainable development of the society, but it is not always easy to define in which way the research contributes. This is because sustainability is hard to define and addresses a complex set of issue. No single, ‘true’ definition of sustainability exists – what is implied depends on the proposer and on the assumptions, more or less, tacitly made. In which ways does your own research project contribute to development of sustainable agriculture/food production system?
You should end up with five keywords describing what YOU find is important for your research to contribute to sustainability. You should be able to explain to other group members what each key word covers.

The aim is to introduce tools and methods that will enable participants to clarify own competences and career goals beyond your PhD. We will discuss the competence demand on the danish academic laybour market. And we will look at ways of understanding and describing your personal competences.
