SUMMARY:Summer School 2024 -  Plant science to tackle climate change
DESCRIPTION:This Summer school is co-organized by the French Saclay Plant Sciences (SPS) network and the German Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences (CEPLAS). \n \nMankind is facing an unprecedented challenge from anthropogenic climate change. This is already associated with altered rainfall patterns\, extreme weather events and less predictable seasonal patterns\, which are expected to increase in the future. Climate change is a major challenge to crop production\, food security and therefore to human society. \nAgriculture is a victim of climate change but also a culprit since 20-25% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are released through agricultural activities. Without a substantial diet change\, the ever-growing world population will require a 70-100% increase of agricultural productivity by 2050 to produce enough food. This must be achieved in a sustainable manner without compromising nutritional quality and in a context of decreasing GHG emissions and increasing C-sequestration to help mitigate global climate change. This complex scenario will require resilient\, higher yielding crops having a more efficient use of water and minerals\, and suited to climate-change adapted cultivation schemes and practices. Moreover\, laboratory/researcher practices will also have to be modified to accommodate low energy-use/low C-footprint research activities. \nIn this context\, the SPS-CEPLAS Summer School 2024 will focus on introducing and discussing strategies\, techniques and practices to carry out next generation plant research aimed at improving sustainable climate-change friendly plant productivity. \nThe summer school will bring together outstanding and enthusiastic young scientists (PhD students and young post-docs) and high-level researchers from all over the world in order to exchange knowledge and ideas. It is limited to a small group of participants (20 maximum) to privilege informal interactions and scientific discussions. \nProvisional program and speakers\nDownload the provisional program of the Summer School \nThis Summer School will include: \n         > Theoretical modules and discussions (~18 hours):\nThe objective is to address key climate change challenges from the perspective of plant sciences. Scientists will give lectures and lead discussions\, giving the participants an insight into the latest research findings and identifying key open questions in the field. Lectures will focus on reducing agricultural GHG emissions\, improving plant productivity/resilience to climate change\, and the challenges of next generation low energy-use/low C-footprint research. They will be presented in 4 sessions comprising a general overview followed by more focused research/technical talks from invited experts. \nN-inputs & emissions\nConcepts addressed: N-use-efficiency in crop species\, N signalisation\, allocation & remobilization\, N metabolism & microbes in the context of climate change\nConfirmed speakers:\nJacques Le-Gouis\, (GDEC\, Clermont-Ferrand\, France)\nAnne Krapp (IJPB\, Versailles\, France)\nFabien Chardon (IJPB\, Versailles\, France)\nAlia Dellagi (IJPB\, Versailles\, France) \nCO2 capture and C sequestration\nConcepts addressed: Improving photosynthesis\, sugar transport & partitioning\, C-sequestration in trees and soil\nConfirmed speakers:\nAmanda Cavanagh (Essex University\, UK)\nSylvie Dinant (IJPB\, Versailles\, France)\nPhilippe Ciais (LSCE\, Saclay\, France) \nPlant resilience to predicted climate change conditions\nConcepts addressed:\nThe interaction of elevated atmospheric CO2 with plant mineral nutrition & abiotic stresses\, stomata & stress signalling\, the influence of bacteria on environmental stress resilience & N-nutrition\, the influence of climate change on biotic stress resistance and computational modeling of photosynthetic acclimation\nConfirmed speakers:\nRosa Morcuende (IRNASA\, Salamanca\, Spain)\nHannes Kollist (Institute of Technology\, Tartu University\, Estonia)\nAntoine Martin (IPSiM\, Montpellier\, France)\nDaniela Ristova (Institute for Plant Sciences\, Cologne University\, Germany)\nGuillem Rigaill (IPS2\, University Paris-Saclay\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France)\nMarina Cotta (MPIPZ\, Cologne\, Germany)\nHeribert Hirt (KAUST\, Saudi Arabia)\nAxel de Zélicourt (IPS2\, University Paris-Saclay\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France)\nRichard Berthomé (LIPME\, Toulouse\, France)\nAnna Matuszynska (RWTH Aachen University\, Germany) \nFuture research practices & opportunities\nConcepts addressed:\nHow to reduce the C-footprint of scientific research & implement and promote environmentally friendly research practices\, agroecology\, biodiversity & climate change\, and how to help farmers move towards a climate change sustainable agriculture\nConfirmed speakers:\nJean Colcombet (IPS2\, University Paris-Saclay\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France)\nPaul Leadley (ESE\, IDEEV\, University Paris-Saclay\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France)\nSophie Gendre (Arvalis\, France) \n         > Workshop on outreach and communication (7 hours)\nThis workshop will be led by Isabel Mendoza of the Global Plant Council. After a presentation on different forms of scientific communication including social media\, participants will form groups\, given a hot-topic paper on plants & climate change and asked to deliver communications aimed at the general public. \n         > Collaborative Climate Fresk workshop (3 hours)\nClimate Fresk is a powerful tool that provides a quality climate education. It requires all participants to take an active role in building the Fresk by linking causes and effects of climate change.\nhttps://climatefresk.org/ \n         > Participant flash-talks and poster session (5 hours)\nEach participant will give a short “get to know me” flash talk at the beginning of the Summer School. The poster session will be organized to allow each participant to discuss his/her poster and to see all posters. It will finish with a general discussion and a “best” poster prize.
