Presentation

The European University Institute of the Sea of Brest is hosting a Summer School on the Governance of Socio-Ecological Systems (SES), which is a rapidly emerging issue in many environment related disciplines and especially sustainability science. The GOSES Summer School is organized jointly by the CNRS (French National Research Council) and SENSE (Netherlands Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment).

The GOSES Summer School is designed not only for doctoral students, but also for post-docs and faculty members, who wish to further explore the governance of socio-ecological systems, discuss cutting-edge research with peers and established scholars alike, and develop specific skills such as presenting and discussing research, co-writing papers, modeling socio-ecological systems and performing fieldwork.

This edition aims at bringing together scholars who work on socio-ecological systems and are interested in its governance at different levels, from local to regional to global, and from different perspectives, including ecology, biology, agronomy, geography, planning, management, economics, anthropology, sociology, political science, international relations and the emerging discipline of sustainability science. The specific focus of this edition will be the land-ocean continuum: coastal zones, river deltas, islands and wetlands.

The program of the GOSES Summer School will feature not only in situ observation of the socio-ecological system of the Iroise marine natural park, where the land-water continuum is prominent and where local stakeholders are actively engaged in dealing with green-blue infrastructure. Based on their observations, participants will also attempt to perform participatory research on the sustainability of this socio-ecological system with the support of local scholars, practitioners and citizens.

The course will take place in an environment that favors mutual learning, exchange and conviviality, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Brittany.

Modalités pratiques pour le personnel du CNRS et les membres du réseau des Zones ateliers

Ce programme fait aussi partie de l’action nationale de formation (ANF) du CNRS sur « Les socio-écosystèmes sous l’angle du politique : pour une dissection du concept de gouvernance ». Dans ce cadre, jusqu’à 10 personnels du CNRS et 5 membres d’UMR bénéficient d’une bourse qui couvre les frais d’inscription, l’hébergement et les repas. Malheureusement, l’ANF ne couvre pas les frais de déplacement des boursiers. Cette initiative rentre aussi dans le cadre du réseau des Zones ateliers. Grace à ce soutien, jusqu’à 10 membres du réseau des Zones ateliers pourront bénéficier d’une bourse qui couvre aussi les frais de transport dans la limite du financement disponible. La langue de travail pour cet atelier international sera l’anglais.

Si vous êtes intéressé à participer, vous devez vous inscrire dès que possible. Les inscriptions ouvriront le 3 mai 2017 et suivront le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi, à condition que vous soyez effectivement personnel du CNRS et/ou membre du réseau des Zones ateliers. La date limite pour les inscriptions est le 15 mai 2017, mais elles peuvent être fermées à l’avance si le nombre maximum de participants a été atteint. Ceux qui se sont déjà préenregistrés doivent s’inscrire et leur inscription doit être confirmée par les organisateurs pour pouvoir participer. Les inscriptions du personnel du CNRS et des membres du réseau des Zones ateliers s’effectuent uniquement par le biais du lien suivant.

Aucun paiement ne sera demandé aux personnels du CNRS aux membres d’UMR dans la limite des places disponibles : www.azur-colloque.fr/DR17/inscription/inscription/66/fr
