851-0180-00L	Research Ethics Number of participants limited to 40 Particularly suitable for students of D-BIOL, D-CHAB, D-HEST	W	2 KP	2G	G. Achermann
Kurzbeschreibung	This course enables students to: • Improve their moral reasoning skills (e.g. identify, construct and evaluate moral arguments); • Identify and describe leading normative approaches and concepts for research involving animals and human subjects; • Analyse the theoretical foundations and disputes on moral issues related to research involving animals and human subjects.
Lernziel	Participants of the course Research Ethics will • Develop an understanding of the role of certain moral concepts, principles and normative theories related to scientific research; • Improve their moral reasoning skills (such as identifying and evaluating reasons, conclusions, assumptions, analogies, concepts and principles), and their ability to use these skills in assessing other people’s arguments, making decisions and constructing their own reasoning to the kinds of ethical problems a scientist is likely to encounter; • Deepen their understanding of the debates on certain central moral issues in research, e.g. the use of animals in biomedical research.
Inhalt	I. Introduction to Moral Reasoning 1. Ethics - the basics - What is ethics? What ethics is not... - Identification of moral issues (awareness): what constitutes an ethical question? Distinguishing ethical questions from other kinds of questions; - Values (personal, cultural & ethical) & principles for ethical conduct in research; - Descriptive and prescriptive ethics - Ethical universalism, ethical relativism and cultural relativism - What is research ethics and why is it important? 2. Normative Ethics - Overview on important theories for research ethics: virtue theories, duty-based theories (rights theory, categorical imperative, prima facie duties), consequentialist theories, other theories; - The plurality of ethical theories, moral pluralism and its consequences; 3. Arguments - Why arguments? What is a good argument? The structure of (moral) arguments; - Deductive and inductive arguments; Validity and soundness; strength and cogency; - Assessing moral arguments II. Research involving animals 1. The moral status of animals: moral considerability (morally relevant features), moral significance; 2. Representative views (indirect theories, direct but unequal theories, and moral equality theories) on the moral status of animals and resulting standpoints on the use of animals in biomedical research - The 3 R's (replacement, reduction, refinement); - Public policy in the context of moral disagreement - The concept of dignity and the dignity of living beings in the Swiss constitution; - The weighing/evaluation of interests: the procedure and criticism, the value of basic research and related problems in the weighing of interests; III. Research involving human subjects - History of research involving human subjects - Basic ethical principles – the Belmont report - Selection of study participants. The concept of vulnerability - Assessment of risks and benefits of a research project - Research ethics committees - Information and consent; confidentiality and anonymity; - Research projects involving biological material and health related data

Kurzbeschreibung	This seminar is designed for PhD students and PostDoc researchers involved in inter- or transdisciplinary research. It addresses and discusses challenges of this kind of research using scientific literature presenting case studies, concepts, theories, methods and by testing practical tools. It concludes with a 10-step approach to make participants' research projects more societally relevant.
Lernziel	Participants know specific challenges of inter- and transdisciplinary research and can address them by applying practical tools. They can tackle questions like: how to integrate knowledge from different disciplines, how to engage with societal actors, how to secure broader impact of research? They learn to critically reflect their own research project in its societal context and on their role as scientists.
Inhalt	The seminar covers the following topics: (1) Theories and concepts of inter- and transdisciplinary research (2) The specific challenges of inter- and transdisciplinary research (3) Collaborating between different disciplines (4) Engaging with stakeholders (5) 10 steps to make participants' research projects more societally relevant Throughout the whole course, scientific literature will be read and discussed as well as practical tools explored in class to address concrete challenges.
Literatur	Literature will be made available to the participants. The following open access article builds a core element of the course: Pohl, C., Krütli, P., & Stauffacher, M. (2017).

701-1651-00L	Environmental Governance Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 30 Primäre Zielgruppe: MSc Umweltnaturwissenschaften hat Vorrang bis 20.09.2019.	W	6 KP	3G	E. Lieberherr, G. de Buren
Kurzbeschreibung	The course addresses environmental policies, focusing on new steering approaches, which are generally summarized as environmental governance. The course also provides students with tools to analyze environmental policy processes and assesses the key features of environmental governance by examining various practical environmental policy examples.
Lernziel	To understand how an environmental problem may (not) become a policy and explain political processes, using basic concepts and techniques from political science. To analyze the evolution as well as the key elements of environmental governance. To be able to identify the main challenges and opportunities for environmental governance and to critically discuss them with reference to various practical policy examples.
Inhalt	Improvements in environmental quality and sustainable management of natural resources cannot be achieved through technical solutions alone. The quality of the environment and the achievement of sustainable development strongly depend on human behavior and specifically the human uses of nature. To influence human behavior, we rely on public policies and other societal rules, which aim to steer the way humans use natural resources and their effects on the environment. Such steering can take place through government intervention alone. However, this often also involves governance, which includes the interplay between governmental and non-governmental actors, the use of diverse tools such as emission standards or financial incentives to steer actors' behavior and can occur at the local, regional, national or international level. In this course, we will address both the practical aspects of as well as the scientific debate on environmental governance. The course gives future environmental experts a strong basis to position themselves in the governance debate, which does not preclude government but rather involves a spectrum from government to governance. Key questions that this course seeks to answer: What are the core characteristics of environmental challenges from a policy perspective? What are key elements of 'environmental governance' and how legitimate and effective are these approaches in addressing persistent environmental challenges?
Skript	Lecture slides and additional course material will be provided on Moodle.
