Theme Event: Sustainable Energy - Who Will Lead the Way?
Energy demands are evolving fast for electricity and at the same time, we have aggressive goals to cut carbon emissions. Energy infrastructure projects will require long-term investments, so finance and governments are key to the solutions.
Join our panel discussion with speakers from academia, business and the public sector. "What next steps should we take...":
Eight doctoral students, being part of the RESPONSE program, will present their work on specific solutions for a sustainable energy system.

Summer School 2022 – Application of Machine Learning in Plant Sciences
12-16 September 2022, Einsiedeln, Switzerland
The Summer School will provide an overview of current machine learning (ML) techniques, their challenges and opportunities. ML is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows software applications to become more accurate at predicting outcomes without being explicitly programmed to do so.
The Summer School is especially aimed at participants with a background in plant sciences. You will gain an understanding of the concept of ML and insights into its potential and possible applications. You will learn how ML is being used in research fields of soil science, microbiology, ecology, biodiversity, agriculture, plant breeding, and plant pathology.
The Summer School will bring together a multidisciplinary group of participants and facilitate project-based teamwork to strengthen collaborations in different fields and to foster networking.

Brief an eine Pflanze – Aquarellfarben aus Blütenblättern
PSC Workshop im Rahmen des Fascination of Plants Day.
18. Mai 2022, 13.30–16.00 Uhr
Aquarellfarben aus Blütenblättern
Plant Blindness ist ein Wahrnehmungsfehler, den viele Menschen haben und der dazu führt, dass wir Pflanzen ausblenden. Dies ist nicht nur in der Wissenschaft, sondern auch in der Kunst ein Thema und beeinflusst unsere Reaktion als Gesellschaft auf den Klimawandel. In diesem zweieinhalbstündigen Workshop werden wir in der Tradition von Künstlerinnen wie Iris von Roten oder Pipilotti Rist – welche Pflanzen eine Hauptrolle in ihren Arbeiten zusprechen – ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Farben von Blütenblättern werfen. Wir besprechen, weshalb sich Form und Farbe durch den Klimawandel verändern können und stellen aus Blütenblättern Aquarellfarben her, mit denen wir einen Brief an eine Pflanze schreiben – vielleicht ist es ja sogar ein Liebesbrief?
Altersempfehlung: ab 16 Jahren. Max. 8-10 Personen.
Kurskosten: Materialgebühr CHF 20 und Kursgebühr CHF 30.
Ort: Beim Klimagarten 2085 im Anna Zemp Natur- und Schaugarten in Männedorf.
