University of Bremen Conferences in September 2018

The conferences held in September at the University of Bremen will cover topics such as biodiversity, metrology, and algebra.

The Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research – ZeMKI (Zentrum für Medien-, Kommunikations- und Informationsforschung) – at the University of Bremen is inviting young communication and media scientists to Bremen from September 6 to 8, 2018 for the Young Talent Day of the German Communication Association – DGPuK (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Publizistik und Kommunikationswissenschaft). It takes place for the first time in cooperation with the Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft – SGKM – and the Austrian Society of Communication – ÖGK (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Kommunikationswissenschaft). Since 2012, the DGPuK Young Talent Day has been held every two years at another university and offers a comprehensive program. Master’s students are just as welcome as PhD students and post-docs. In workshops, lectures, and discussions, speakers from Bremen, Germany, and the world will provide essential knowledge and insights behind the scenes of everyday university life in the Faculty of Media and Communication Studies. In the evening there are also opportunities for informal networking, getting to know each other, and exchanging ideas. More information and registration at www.nwt18.uni-bremen.de.

A new project entitled New ABS legislation and practice and compliance with the Nagoya Protocol, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG – German Research Foundation), has been running at the Research Centre for European Environmental Law – FEU (Forschungsstelle für Europäisches Umweltrecht) – at the University of Bremen since February 2017. As part of this research project, an international conference with 40 to 50 participants will be held on September 19 and 20, 2018. The focus is on the new regulations on Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) of the Nagoya Protocol of 2010. This is an additional protocol to the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, which abolished free access to genetic resources in a binding manner under international law. The current project examines national legislation in force after the entry into force of the Nagoya Protocol and the implementation practice. The conference language is English. Preregistration is required for participation.
