WELCOME LETTER

Dear Prospective Participants,

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Reims, a city full of history in the heart of the Champagne area that, with its heritage and many ongoing initiatives, is a true open air laboratory in terms of, for instance, landscape protection, urban renovation and, last but not least, sustainable development.

Over the past three years, our joint Summer School of Sustainability has already become a much-awaited yearly appointment for young scholars and practitioners alike. SENSE and the University of Reims possess strengths that proved once again to be complementary. Let us hope that this experience leads to even more synergies in the years to come.

It is a real pleasure for the University of Reims and SENSE to organize for the third time this summer school together. Bringing together 24 young scholars from 14 countries and 5 continents, this edition of our Summer School is by far the most successful so far in terms of inscriptions. We have no doubt that it will be a vibrant intellectual and cultural experience.

This summer school is an opportunity for you not only to learn new concepts and explore new methods and cases, but also to become part of a global network of young scholars. This summer school is meant to promote an integrated understanding of sustainable development at all levels. We count on you to become ambassa- dors of these values for the years to come.

We hope you have a great time in Reims!

Warm regards,

Philipp Pattberg Frédéric Piantoni General Director of SENSE Dean of the Faculty of Humanities VU Amsterdam University of Reims

CONCEPT

The University of Reims 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 with SENSE (Netherlands Research School for Socio- Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment). This is already the third edition of this very successful Summer School.

The GOSES Summer School is designed not only for doctoral students, but also for pre-docs, post-docs and young scholars, 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, developing abstracts and performing fieldwork.

This edition aims at bringing together scholars who work on the governance of socio-ecological systems at different levels, from local to regional to global, and from different perspectives, including ecology, biology, geography, planning, political science, international relations and the emerging discipline of sustainability science.

For the first time, the program of the GOSES Summer School will feature not only in situ observation of a socio- ecological system nearby, but 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, sur- rounded by the beautiful landscape of Champagne. The GOSES Summer School is composed of three modules, a fieldtrip and a final conference. The specific topics of each module are the following:

1. Sociological approaches; 2. Epistemic approaches; 3. Integrated approaches.

Each module lasts a full day and is composed of two sessions:

 Morning session: interactive lectures;  Afternoon session: parallel workshops:

A. Research seminars; B. Abstract development; C. Methods lab.

Each participant is expected to attend the morning lectures, as well as present and discuss his or her research and abstracts in the afternoon workshops. The fourth day will be dedicated to a fieldtrip and to participatory research. The last day will be devoted to a final conference, which is aimed at wrapping up lessons learnt from the GOSES Summer School, identifying the cutting edge of research on the governance of socio-ecological systems and discussing the way forward.

Socio-ecological systems There is a large number of scholars that are currently working on socio-ecological systems. The analysis of the governance of A socio-ecological system consists of socio-ecological systems is frequently problematic. The GOSES a bio-geophysical unit and its associated Summer School aims at addressing this emerging challenge. social actors and institutions. We expect that this will attract scholars working along the lines of Elinor Ostrom’s integrated diagnostic approach. The Sum- (Glaser et al. 2011) mer School is also expected to appeal to those researchers who focus on global and regional environmental governance, and those who come from structuralistic and rationalist scholarly traditions, as well as constructivist and critical ones. This Summer School will be an opportunity for much needed cross-fertilization among scholars employing different approaches. Levels of governance Concerning the level of governance, we expect most participants to be primarily interested in the local or regional level with regard to specific resources or sectors, but the research of those looking at the planet as a socio-ecological system itself could also provide interesting perspectives.

MORNING MODULES Campus Croix-Rouge, Building 17, 2nd Floor, Salle du Conseil (see Campus Map on page 20) Day 1: Matching approaches: the (mis)match of the S and E when studying a SES Lecturers: Elizabeth Haber and Jetske Vaas Topics: Challenges of integrating ecological and governance approaches to SES, for example in terms of fit and mismatches between institutional and ecological levels. Also, the fit between the scales of research and the scales of practice in action-oriented research will be discussed. These topics come to the fore in a research project on invasive plant species in the Dutch Caribbean, which will be employed as a recurring case through- out this module. Learning objectives: Understanding the challenges of working in an interdisciplinary setting: which tensions can you expect to encounter, and which tentative ways of dealing with those can be discerned? how can these be expressed in terms of scale and fit? Teaching methods: An equal division between lecturing and participatory teaching. The lecture-part will focus on theoretical approaches and the application of that in the lecturers’ research project. The participatory part will consist of a simulation game and short debate sessions regarding some of the mismatches discussed during the lecture. Day 2: Navigating the hybrid space between science and politics: the role of science in SES governance Lecturers: Sandra van der Hel and Kari de Pryck Topics: In this morning module, we will focus on the role of science and scientific institutions in the governance of socio-ecological systems. In the context of complex and unprecedented challenges of global environmental change, science is often called upon to contribute to solutions for global sustainability. What role can and should science take in governance of socio-ecological systems? This session will introduce several theoretical perspectives on the relationship between science and governance. We will apply these theoretical insights in case studies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the new major research platform “Future Earth: research for Global Sustainability.” Additionally, participants will be asked to reflect on the normative and political dimensions of their work and their own role as a researcher. Learning objectives: Gaining an understanding of various theoretical perspectives on the relationship between science and governance; reflecting on role as researcher Teaching methods: Lectures, cases studies, reflection Day 3: Integrated approaches: analysis of the sustainability of SES governance systems Lecturers: Michael Cox and Jon Marco Church Topics: socio-ecological systems – integrated approaches – CPR design principles – Ostrom’s general framework – competing frameworks – initial changes and follow-up – ongoing research efforts – the SESMAD project – examples of integrated analysis – institutional fit and the missing ecology – characterizing SES governance systems – scales, levels of analysis, levels of governance – improving the characterization of SES governance systems at different scales and levels – the problem of multiple and mobile resources – the case of governance of large SESs – the examples of the Alps and of the Ardennes – identifying design principles for the governance of large-scale SESs – fieldtrip preparation Learning objectives: to identify cases that can be analyzed using Ostrom’s general framework – to select vari- ables to characterize SES governance systems – to hypothesize the interplay of governance properties with those of other subsystems – to consider the possibility of using Ostrom’s general framework at different scales and levels Teaching methods: theoretical lectures followed by questions and answers – case presentation followed by discussion – coffee break

Expectations Lecturers are scholars and practitioners that are well-known for their knowledge of and experience in the subject matter and who will deliver a presentation, share materials (slides, outline, text, readings, etc.), reply to questions, lead discussions and remain available to further exchange with participants in the immediate af- termath of the sessions. Participants are advanced master degree students, doctoral candidates, post-docs, young scholars, as well as practitioners, and are invited to take active part in the modules, asking questions, making comments and proposing examples. They are expected to participate in group exercises, such as presentations, simulations, case studies, etc.

Logistics Morning modules last four hours. They start at 9 in the morning and finish at 1 in the afternoon. There will be one coffee break at 10:45. Sessions take place in a modern room with a maximum capacity of 30. A computer and full projection and sound system is permanently installed.

AFTERNOON WORKSHOPS Campus Croix-Rouge, University Library, Rooms 138, 139 and 140 (see Campus Map on page 20) Type 1: Research seminars Discussants: Elizabeth Haber, Jetske Vaas and Alice Baillat; Sandra van der Hel and Kari de Pryck; Jon Marco Church and Michael Cox (Room 140) Roles: The organizing team will group participants based on the proximity of their research topics and will inform them of the composition of the three groups in advance. Each participant will deliver a fifteen-minute presentation of an ongoing research project of his or hers, which will be discussed by more experienced scholars with knowledge of the domain. The discussant will provide specific advice on how to present research more effectively. Other participants will observe the presentations. At the end of the workshop, they will be asked to list on a whiteboard what makes an effective presentation based on what they observed and on the advice of the discussant. The organizing team will compile the lists and share them with all participants at the end of the GOSES Summer School. Skills developed: To deliver effective oral presentations; to identify what makes a presentation effective in your domain Type 2: Abstract development How to summarize my PhD thesis? - PhD thesis? Nice, what is your topic? - I'm working on... Actually, my subject is... Why it is always a drama to synthesize your research in a few words? To answer this question, we propose to dedicate an afternoon workshop to discuss abstract development. Abstract is mostly required to submit an article, asking scholarship funds and useful to discuss your subject with others, but it is also a way to think and structure your ideas. The workshop will be an opportunity to set out your project and work on writing.

Instructors: Roxane de Flore and Leonardo Orlando (Room 138) Roles: Each participant will submit the abstract of his or her research to the organizing team ten days before the beginning of the GOSES Summer School. Abstracts should not be longer than one paragraph (less than 200 words). The workshop session will involve a small group of participants. Young scholars particularly skilled in abstract development will lead the discussion. The aim is to share methodologies and keys to structure ideas, introduce a subject and Please submit by 24 June 2016 to improve written communication skills. [email protected] Skills developed: To produce effective abstracts; to improve existing  Title of your presentation abstracts; to identify lessons learnt  Abstract of your research Type 3: Modeling lab (to be confirmed) Instructor: Virginie Joanne-Fabre (Room 139) Roles: After a short presentation of ways to model socio-ecological systems and in general complex systems combining both physical and human dimensions (theoretical models, differential equations systems, cellular automata, adaptive cycles, models implemented in software, health indexes, development, spatial models, etc.), participants will learn how to develop basic models of specific cases. Each participant will then work on the most relevant way to model his or her own data and present it to other participants. The workshop will end with a general discussion about the possibility/adequacy/relevance of modelling for your own research. Skills developed: To explore the modeling of complex systems; to learn how to use some basic modelling tools; to understand when modelling can be used Logistics Afternoon modules last three hours. They start at 2 and finish at 5 in the afternoon. There will be one break at 3:30. Each session will take place in modern meeting rooms with a maximum capacity of 10. A laptop and projector will be available for slideshows. The modeling lab will take place in a fully equipped computer room.

FIELDTRIP Leaving at 8:00 from the Résidence des Facultés and returning at around 19:00 to the Boulingrin The objective of this fieldtrip is to put in practice what was learnt in the morning modules by exploring a con- crete case, while performing in situ observation and applying participatory research methods. The Ardennes The picturesque, low mountain range of the Ar- dennes is located on the Franco-Belgian-Luxem- burgish-German border. Its climate zone is generally temperate, featuring a large number of microcli- mates ranging from forests and meadows. Climate projections about the next 100 years expect an av- erage increase of the local temperature from 2 to 3 °C. Rainfall patterns will also change drastically. Given the likely impact on the particularly sensitive vegetation cover already by 2050 and the existence of significant investments in the agro-forestry sector that often exceed 30-40 years, this represents a challenge for the sustainability of the current mode of development of the Ardennes. Is the existing governance system fit to address this challenge? While geomorphology is relatively uniform, demographics are particularly varied, with a significant drop of the Franco-German side and a marked growth in the Belgian-Luxembourg part. How do the four countries coordinate their policies? What is done on the French side? The existence of a Regional Natural Park plays a key role in the governance of this socio-ecological system. Methodology In order to answer these questions, it is proposed to apply Elinor Ostrom’s diagnostic approach to analyze the sustainability of a socio-ecological system. Particular emphasis will be put on the analysis of the governance system of the Ardennes. This approach will be presented and discussed during the third module. In order to build upon the widest knowledge base possible, after a guided tour of the most significant parts of the target socio-ecological system along the Franco-Belgian border in the morning, it is proposed to perform some participatory research with the support of local scholars, practitioners and citizens in the afternoon.

THEY SAID ABOUT OUR SUMMER SCHOOL

Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment The Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment (SENSE) provides a disciplinary and multidisciplinary research program aimed at advanced understanding of environmental problems and advanced training of PhD students in this field. Established in 1994, SENSE has developed into a consortium of outstanding environmental research groups from eleven Dutch universities and institutes, covering a broad range of environmental disciplines, with contributions from the natural sciences (such as chemistry, biology, earth sciences, hydrology, environmental technology) and the socio-economic sciences (such as economics, sociology, political sciences, law). SENSE was formally accredited by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) for the period 1997– 2001 and was subsequently re-accredited in 2002 and 2008. SENSE serves a total of 250 staff members and more than 600 PhD students. The scientific mission of the SENSE Research School is to develop and promote an integrated understanding of environmental change in terms of mechanisms that cause it and the consequences that result from it. To fulfil this mission, the combined programs of research and education within SENSE are aimed at the development and further improvement of scientific concepts and methods that are required for an effective disciplinary and multidisciplinary understanding of environmental change. Research and education in SENSE are dedicated to developing high quality scientific results that may be applied to practically and critically inform sustainable environmental governance and decision-making. The four core themes each encompass specifically focused research clusters to adequately reflect the main research efforts of SENSE with regard to environmental changes: 1. Environmental contaminants and nutrients; 2. Environmental change and ecosystem dynamics; 3. Global environmental change; 4. Sustainable development and social change: actors, institutions and governance. SENSE has been providing invaluable support to the Summer School of Sustainability in Reims since 2014 in terms of overall guidance and communication tools. It kindly makes the participation of three lecturers possible. Website: www.sense.nl

University of Reims This multidisciplinary university develops innovative, fundamental and applied research. It provides more than 25,000 students with a wide range of undergrad- uate and graduate study programs, which correspond to society’s needs in all domains of knowledge. The university also accompanies independent or com- pany backed students in professional development training. URCA is situated in five different cities: Reims (main site), Troyes, Charleville- Mézières, Châlons-en-Champagne and Chaumont. The university largely contributes to the development of the region through its partnership with local and national companies and regional authorities. With more than 1,500 educators and researchers, as well as more than 1,000 technical and administrative staff members, URCA is one of the largest employers of the region. URCA aims to appeal to international students and scholars and has consequently introduced the construction of an interregional and international cluster, which includes the main institutions of higher education of the Champagne-Ardenne area as well as Walloon universities in Belgium. URCA hosts one of the oldest institutes of urban planning in France (IATEUR). In 2011, it launched an Interna- tional Research Center on Sustainability (IRCS), which aims at becoming one of the hubs of sustainability science in Europe. With a young, dynamic and interdisciplinary team, its research focuses on transitions to sustainability, climate plans, ecosystem governance, water management and time scales. More information on the IRCS can be found on its website: www.sustainability-studies.org/ircs Situated in the heart of Europe, URCA occupies a geostrategic position which is favorable to European and international exchanges. The university is accessible in less than one hour by high-speed train (TGV) from Paris and from the Charles-de-Gaulle international airport. URCA will kindly host the GOSES Summer School on its premises, providing generous support in terms of human resources, organizational platforms and meeting spaces. It also sponsors the participation of one lecturer. Website: www.univ-reims.fr

OTHER PARTNERS OF THE GOSES SUMMER SCHOOL Sciences Po The Reims Campus of Sciences Po opened its doors in 2010, hosting the Euro-Amer- ican studies program. The core curriculum of the Degree is taught in English and offers a comparative perspective (North America / Europe). Since September 2015, the Reims Campus is hosting the Europe-Africa studies program of Sciences Po. Students on the degree come from all parts of Africa and the world. The Reims Campus also hosts a significant program for students wishing to study at Sciences Po on exchange for one or two semesters. These students hail from one of the 410 academic partners in Sciences Po's international network and have the opportunity to complete one of four special certificates: International Affairs & Strategy, European Affairs, Economics & Business or Journalism. The certificates are offered mostly in English but encourage students to improve their French language skills. The Reims Campus of Sciences Po will kindly host the final conference of the GOSES Summer School. The site is located on an old Jesuit college, which was constructed at the beginning of the 17th century, and has been beautifully restored with the support of local government institutions: City of Reims, County and Regional Coun- cils. Several members of the CERI Research Group on “Environment and International Relations” at Sciences Po kindly contribute in many ways to the various components of the GOSES Summer School.

Earth System Governance Project The Earth System Governance Project is the largest social science research network in the area of governance and global environmental change. Our international research programme takes up the challenge of exploring political solutions and novel, more effective governance systems to cope with the current transitions in the bioge- ochemical systems of our planet. The normative context of our research is sustainable development: We see earth system governance not only as a question of governance effectiveness, but also as a challenge for political legitimacy and social justice. The Earth System Governance Project is open to all social and natural scientists who are engaged in research on the governance of coupled socio-ecological systems, at all levels. Our global network includes many of the most prominent scientists in the field, along with numerous PhD students and early-career researchers. The Earth System Governance Project is a core project of Future Earth. The Earth System Governance Project kindly endorsed the GOSES Summer School and many of its members actively contributed to its organization. Website: www.earthsystemgovernance.org

UNESCO International Hydrological Programme A contribution to IHP-VIII The International Hydrological Programme (IHP) is the only intergovernmental programme of the UN system devoted to water research, water resources management, and education and capacity building. Since its inception in 1975, IHP has evolved from an internationally coordinated hydrological research programme into an en- compassing, holistic programme to facilitate education and capacity building, and enhance water resources management and governance. IHP facilitates an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to watershed and aquifer management, which in- corporates the social dimension of water resources, and promotes and develops international research in hydrological and freshwater sciences.

UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE IN REIMS Cathedral of Notre-Dame The outstanding handling of new architectural techniques in the 13th century and the harmonious marriage of sculptural decoration with architecture, has made Notre-Dame in Reims one of the masterpieces of Gothic art. Notre-Dame boasts an exceptionally rich statuary. The cathedral is adorned with 2,303 statues, including the famous Smiling Angel, whose jovial expression reflects the Champagne School of the 13th century. Located in the heart of the city, the cathedral’s towers rise above the rooftops of Reims to a height of 81 m. The nave, whose triple-level design is characteristic of the period in which it was built, has a vaulted ceiling some 38 m high. The cathedral is almost 150 m long and is remarkable also for its luminosity, making it a model of the genre in Gothic Europe. A profusion of rose windows, as well as the delicacy of the windows make this colossal structure remarkably balanced and light. The baptism of Clovis around the year 498 gave birth to the Kingdom of the Franks. This exceptional event explains the choice of Reims as the coronation city. It features 13th, 20th (Chagall) and 21st century (Knoebel) stained- glass windows. Palace of Tau The former archiepiscopal palace known as the Palace of Tau, which played an important role in religious ceremonies, was almost entirely rebuilt in the 17th century by Jules Har- douin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte. The Tau Palace still holds rooms that have retained their medieval aspect. This is the case with the Palatine Chapel (13th century) and the Tau Room, in which the coronation banquet was held. Decorating the walls is 15th century tapestry, which tells the story of “Mighty King Clovis”. The royal treasury’s most remarkable objects are Charlemagne’s talisman (9th century) and Saint Remi’s chalice (12th century). The Sainte-Ampoule, or “holy flask”, contains the holy oil with which new kings were anointed during the coronation ceremony. Basilica of Saint-Remi The former abbey still has its beautiful 9th century nave, in which lie the remains of Archbishop Saint-Remi (440–533), who instituted the Holy Anointing of the Kings of France. The Basilica of Saint-Remi is a collection of history and art that should not be missed. The 11th century Romanesque nave was lengthened by two transepts at the end of the 12th century to render it accessible to a greater number of pilgrims. At the same time, the facade was reconstructed, while a choir ambulatory and radiating chapels were created. While the Gothic style is apparent in these transfor- mations, they in no way altered the homogeneity and serenity of the church. It contains Saint-Remi’s tomb, a collection of 12th century stained-glass windows and a Cattiaux grand organ, inaugurated in 2000. It is open daily from 8 am to 7 pm. Music and lights inside the basilica every Saturday in July, August and September at 9:30 pm.

Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars These are the sites where the method of producing sparkling wines was developed based on the principle of secondary fermentation in the bottle since the early 17th century to its early industrialization in the 19th century. They include the Saint-Nicaise Hill in Reims. These three components—the supply basin formed by the historic hillsides, the production sites (with their underground cellars) and the sales and distribution centers (the Champagne Houses)—illus- trate the entire champagne production process. These sites bear clear testi- mony to the development of a very specialized artisan activity that has become an agro-industrial enterprise. This is the place where the benchmark method of producing sparkling wine was born, a method that would spread and be copied across the world from the 19th century up to the present day. Champagne is a product of excellence, renowned as the universal symbol of festiveness, celebration and reconciliation.

MORE TO SEE IN REIMS Mars Gate The monumental Mars Gate dates from the first part of the 3rd century and gave access to the Gallo-Roman town of Durocortorum. It is made of three arches on which original sculp- tures are still visible: Romulus and Remus, the farm works, Leda and the swan.

Cryptoporticus This cryptoporticus reminds that Reims used to be a Roman city. The building is partly bur- ied and when it was built, at the beginning of the 3rd century, the basement was meant for bean storage, while the surface was a walking space. Reims owns one of the five cryptoporticus known in the whole Roman world. The two updated galleries and a museum space that reminds the history of the excavations and displays various objects discovered on the spot are interesting to visit. Open from May to September from 2 to 6 pm. Free admittance.

Chemin Vert Garden City The Chemin Vert garden city is the most important of all the thirteen garden cities created in Reims between the two world wars. It is one of the first examples of this type of urban planning design in France. In 1922, 600 small houses intended to accommodate working class families were built under the supervision of the architect Jean-Marcel Auburtin. At a time when social security did not yet exist, the city already included not only two small shopping centers but also a number of social facilities, including a children's day-care center and a library. The decoration of the Saint-Nicaise Church, in part Art Deco, is the work of several major artists of the period, including Maurice Denis, René Lalique and Jacques Simon.

Museum of the Surrender The Museum of the Surrender of 7 May 1945 is an history museum founded by the city of Reims in 1985 to mark the 40th anniversary of the signing of the first part of the acts of capitulation of Nazi Germany (a second signature took place the next day in Berlin) that ended World War II in Europe. It is located in part of the premises of the Franklin Roosevelt High School in Reims which held this signature. The hall of the surrender of 7 May 1945 located in the building is now listed as historical monument.

Chapelle Fujita After is conversion to Catholicism and his baptism in the Cathedral of Reims. The Japa- nese painter Leonard Foujita designed a Neo-Romanesque chapel in 1966. The 200 m² large iconographical program is inspired by the Christ’s life but also by a refined Japanese tradition. You can discover many Foujita paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, which is located near the opera house.
