1. Teaching Veterinary Ethics: The Case of Study Cases
1:00-3:00 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Festsaal
Chairs: Kerstin Weich (Messerli Research Institute, Vienna), Martin Huth (Messerli Research Institute, Vienna) | [email protected]
Context and Aims
Teaching Veterinary Ethics is a field of high topicality and urgency since ethics is increasingly implemented and significant in the curricula of universities for veterinary medicine all over Europe and beyond.
Hence, the questions of content, methodology, and learning outcomes have become crucial in several ways. At the intersection of these three fundamental issues we find the study case that provides an access to a specific content (e.g. a clinical case or a certain policy in veterinary public health structure of decision-making, conceptualization of health, etc.), builds a core methodology of didactics, and frames learning outcomes. The experience that concrete cases are essential in teaching veterinary ethics is widespread. However, it seems crucial to raise the awareness of tacit implications of study cases. As Thomas Kuhn (2012) (and, drawing on Kuhn, Bernard Rollin, cf. 1998) has shown, the use of “exemplars” is highly efficient since it makes cascades of explanation superfluous. But it also contributes to the reiteration of implicit paradigms and to the hidden curriculum (cf. Withcomb 2015) and, hence, sheds light on particular questions and accounts while concealing others. More in general, already Wittgenstein was cautionary with respect to the use of one-sided examples that shape perspectives all too clear (Wittgenstein 1996).
Key Questions
How should study cases be used in teaching veterinary ethics? How can a singular case provide access to generalizing ethical reflection? What are the particular strengths of study cases? Where do we face limits of study cases? How can one avoid the danger of being intrusive by the use of study cases? How is a broadening of the perspective possible? How can one raise the awareness of the strengths and limits or pitfalls of the use of study cases? Key Words: Study cases, veterinary ethics, didactics, paradigm, hidden curriculum

2. Regulation Plant Biotech 2.0: CRISPR potato as a case study
1:00-3:00 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Festsaal Erweiterung
Chairs: Per Sandin (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala), Karin Edvardsson Björnberg (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm), Helena Röcklinsberg (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala), Mickey Gjerris (University of Copenhagen) | [email protected]
Context and Aims
Potatoes are as staple food in many areas of the world. It is also a food with strong cultural significance, not least in Northern Europe.
A main component of potatoes is starch. Starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The first substance has a low glycemic index and is consequently regarded as being healthier. At the same time, there is a multitude of industrial applications for both amylose and amylopectin on their own. Within a Swedish research program (Mistra Biotech) a potato that produces starch with more amylose and an altered amylopectin structure has been developed using the technology of RNA interference (RNAi). A new, similar, amylose potato, is currently being developed using directed mutagenesis with the aid of the CRISPR/Cas9 technique.
Such technologies are currently in a state of regulatory uncertainty in the EU. It is yet unclear whether they will be classified as GMOs or not. In the former case, their introduction will be surrounded with a complex and lengthy review procedure, in the latter case not. This has far-reaching consequences for the commercialization of such crops.
Using the Low-GI CRISPR potato as a starting point, we will discuss the ethical underpinnings and challenging of regulating such crops, i.e. plants developed with new types of genetic engineering with intended health benefits (and other non-agronomic benefits).
Invited Discussants
Dennis Eriksson, Karin Edvardsson Björnberg, Bjørn Kåre Myskja, Paul B Thompson
Key Questions
Are there morally relevant differences between crops developed with CRISPR/Cas9 and other technologies?
How should this be reflected in regulation?
Key Words: CRISPR/Cas9, genetic engineering, EU regulation

3. Seafood Ethics: Fishing for Food or Feed?
1:00-3:00 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Großes Sitzungszimmer
Chairs: Matthias Kaiser (University of Bergen), Thomas Potthast (University of Tübingen) | [email protected]
Context and Aims
This 3-part workshop aims to explore issues emerging in the nascent field of seafood ethics, which encompasses the descriptive and normative study of values, value-based trade-offs, and ethical dilemmas of stakeholders and citizens along diverse seafood value chains.
Part (1) is a practical ethics exercise where participants will deliberate upon and prioritize values and principles in relation to scenarios evaluated for their sustainable and ethical management of marine resources. The exercise will be done individually and in groups, with plenary report backs and discussions.
Part (2) is a set of brief presentations by three interdisciplinary experts to stimulate dialogue, critical reflection, and collaborative thinking on emerging research in seafood ethics and its relation to marine resource sustainability, policy, and governance: (i) We will present how stakeholder values were explored in the Canadian Pacific herring fishery conflict, highlighting methodological and governance challenges and new research to update the value set and incorporate ethical principles in the Norwegian herring fishery and aquaculture context; (ii) we will introduce an emerging theory of values to shed light on how the plurality of values in European society may be approached by mapping value landscapes in seafood value chains, i.e., from seafood producer, processor, distributor, retailer to consumer; and (iii) we will critically evaluate the practical ethics method and the utility of exploring values in resource management and analyze how ethical principles and indicators may offer alternative or additional approaches to sustainable management.
Part (3) is a facilitated discussion with participants to constructively debate the role and effectiveness of seafood ethics, values, and ethical principles in sustainable marine resource management.
Key Questions
How are values, principles, attitudes, beliefs, preferences, and behaviours interrelated? How can these be investigated as part of a practical ethics or value-based approach to sustainable marine resource management? What are the bottlenecks?
What is needed for sound ethical assessments of marine resource
13 Wednesday, 13th June 2018 management, seafood policy and governance? What ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top- down’ processes are needed to capture individual and societal values in normative assessments?
When analyzing complex seafood value chains, linking multiple social actors from diverse cultures with a plurality of values, how can the pluralistic value landscapes be reconciled within society to formulate seafood policy that is both just and sustainable?
Key Words: Values, practical ethics, seafood ethics, marine resource management, sustainability, trade-offs.

4. The Harm-Benefit-Analysis in Directive 2010/63/EU - Should ethics review be public deliberation or an expert evaluation mechanism?
1:00-3:00 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Kleines Sitzungszimmer
Chairs: Matthias Eggel (Institute for Biomedical Ethics and History of Medicine, University of Zurich), Peter Sandøe (Department of Food and Ressource Economics, University of Copenhagen), Herwig Grimm (Messerli Research Institute), Anna Olsson (Laboratory Animal Science, Institute for Research and Innovation in Health, University of Porto) | [email protected]
Context and Aims
Directive 2010/63/EU regulates the use of animals for scientific purposes through its implementation into the legislation of EU member states. It mandates that every project proposal involving procedures on living non- human vertebrates and cephalopods has to be approved in a review process including a "Harm-Benefit-Analysis“ (HBA), to assess „“whether the harm to the animals in terms of suffering, pain and distress is justified by the expected outcome taking into account ethical consideration and may ultimately benefit humans, animals or the environment“ (1, article 38d). From this it follows that a project is only ethically and legally justified if the benefit can be expected to outweigh the harms inflicted on animals. Whereas the national competent authorities are responsible for the authorization, the underlying evaluation is often carried out with the help of advising experts and committees. To assess harm to animals, potential benefits to humans, animals and the environment and evaluate whether the requirement for ethical consideration of animals is met, requires evaluating the scientific justification of a proposal (strength of hypothesis, experimental design, etc.) as well as the ethical implications (moral status of animal, weighing of benefit against harms etc.).
Efforts have been made to systematize the assessment through the development of methods and scoring systems. Systematic assessment methods are useful for the aspects of evaluation where there is a well developed field of knowledge and experts can agree on a method. Of these components, this is the case for assessment of the scientific standard, strength and scientific importance of a proposal (matters which are part of the usual peer-review process for funding or publication) and for assessing animal harm (for which animal welfare science and veterinary medicine have expertise). But other components seem to have more to do with values and perspectives. Defining systematic methods for assessing ethical considerations seems to defy the purpose of assessing something which is arguably a matter of public deliberation.
As the review of projects with animals is mandated through Directive
15 Wednesday, 13th June 2018
2010/63/EU, it seems to combine elements for expert assessment and elements for public deliberation. This raises questions about the composition of committees and about the appropriate level of assessment.
As a starting point for this workshop, we will ask if the ethics review of animal research is a matter of expert assessment or public deliberation. We aim for a critical discussion of how to best integrate or separate the evaluation of projects for authorization and the public deliberation over overarching matters of animal research ethics.
Key Words: Harm-Benefit-Analysis (HBA), ethics review, Project evaluation, Directive 2010/63/EU

5. The Veterinary Professions added value in human-animal interaction
3:30-5:30 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Festsaal
Chairs: Franck L.B. Meijboom (Utrecht University), Herwig Grimm (Messerli Research Institute, Vienna) | [email protected]
Context and Aims
Veterinary professionals are confronted with a number of (new) developments. These include the changes in the scope of veterinary care, e.g. from curative to preventive medicine, from care for individual animals to veterinary care for collectives, but also the development towards One Health and One Welfare.
This process also has an effect on veterinary ethics. Ethical questions are no longer restricted to moral problems at the level of individual clinical cases, but include complex issues that require new types of ethical reflection, discussion on professional responsibility and reflections on the public position of the veterinary profession. Furthermore, it raises questions about the professional role of veterinarians in the debate on sustainable human-animal interactions, including animal use and animal production.
In this special session we aim to discuss this development and present some of its examples in Europe (e.g., UK and The Netherlands).
Key Questions
What are the effects of recent animal related debates in Europe (e.g., public debates on animal welfare, One Health, sustainability) on veterinary ethics?
What are the examples of how veterinarians/ veterinary professions address new challenges?
What should be the role of the veterinary profession in public debates on issues such as animal welfare, One Health, sustainability?
Key Words: Vethics, Professional Ethics, Professional Integrity, Animal Welfare

6. Responsible Research and Innovation in Agriculture and Food
3:30-5:30 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Festsaal Erweiterung
Chairs: Vincent Blok (Wageningen University), Bernice Bovenkerk (Wageningen University), Bart Gremmen (Wageningen University) | [email protected]
Context and Aims
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is an emerging field in the European research and innovation (R&I) policy context that aims to balance economic, socio-cultural and environmental aspects in innovation processes (European Commission 2011). Because technological innovations can contribute significantly to the solution of societal challenges like climate change or food security, but can also have negative societal consequences, it is assumed that social and ethical aspects should be considered during the R&I process. By involving multiple stakeholders in R&I processes at an early stage, “societal actors and innovators become mutually responsive to each other with a view to the (ethical) acceptability, sustainability and societal desirability of the innovation process and its marketable products” (von Schomberg 2013). The consideration of ethical and social aspects during R&I processes will lead not only to technological innovations which are ethical acceptable, but also sustainable and socially desirable (cf. Matter 2011). The concept of RRI expresses the ambition to address societal needs, next to the more traditional objectives of R&I like economic growth, profit maximization, competitive advantage etc. (cf. Blok & Lemmens 2015). This workshop aims to explore the opportunities, advantages and disadvantages of the emerging concept of RRI in the field of agricultural and food ethics.
Key Questions
How can the concept of RRI shed a new light on social-ethical issues in agriculture and food production and consumption? Does the concept of RRI help to identify and solve social-ethical issues in the field of agriculture and food? How can the application of RRI frameworks help to better embed agricultural and food technologies in society? How can the RRI framework be applied in the assessment of controversial emerging technologies in the agricultural sector (PLF, genetic modification etc.)? How can the RRI concept be applied to improve animal welfare?

7. Organic Closed Recirculation Systems For Aquaculture – Ethical Challenges, Legal Context, Political Consequences
3:30-5:30 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Großes Sitzungszimmer
Chairs: S. Bergleiter (Naturland – Verband für ökologischen Landbau e.V., Germany) / M. Böhm, S. Meisch, T. Potthast (International Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities, University of Tuebingen) / H. Seibel, Lina Weirup, Carsten Schulz (Gesellschaft für Marine Aquakultur mbH, Buesum, Germany) / M. Stark (Seafood Advisory Ltd., Switzerland) / L. Voget-Kleschin (Philosophisches Seminar, Philosophie und Ethik der Umwelt, University of Kiel) | [email protected] [email protected]
Context and Aims
EU regulations explicitly preclude closed recirculation systems for aquaculture grow-out from organic certification because they are not close enough to nature (Regulation (EEC) No. 710/2009). Meanwhile, according to other EU regulations, one criteria for organic food production is its contribution to sustainable development (Regulation (EEC) No. 834/2007). Against this background, one might argue that in spite of their distance to nature closed recirculation systems are innovative solutions to deal with sustainability issues in food production. Against this background, the question arises if the organic movement should lobby for an organic certification of closed recirculation systems and why.
Key Questions
This workshop will discuss ethical challenges and political consequences that an organic certification will present.
Can closed recirculation systems for aquaculture really contribute to a more sustainable aquaculture production and/or a greater fish welfare?
(Why) Do they need to be certificated as organic at all? Would a new label be better? On the other hand, would a new label increase the flood of labels?
What does the potential organic certification of closed recirculation systems for aquaculture mean for the self-conception of the organic movement (closeness to nature vs. innovative organic food production)?
How can the concerns of consumers be addressed that might have different expectations from organic food production (closeness to nature)?
What are the legal consequences of an organic certification of closed recirculation systems for aquaculture? What are potential spill-overs to other forms of organic food production? 19 Wednesday, 13th June 2018
8. New Directions in Plant Ethics
3:30-5:30 pm | Banquet Hall, first floor, Kleines Sitzungszimmer
Chairs: Angela Kallhoff (Vienna), Maria Schorgenhumer (Vienna), Marcello Di Paola (Vienna/Rome), Gianfranco Pellegrino (LUISS University Rome) | [email protected] ; [email protected]
Context and Aims
Plant Ethics is an emerging field in environmental ethics whose ramifications extend to numerous other fields including bioethics, agricultural, food, professional and business ethics, and the philosophy of technology. This workshop presents and explores plant ethics as a focal field of inquiry that is developing its own argumentative resources at both a theoretical and an applied level.
The ethics of plants focuses on the value of plants, the duties we may have towards and regarding plants, and the ways in which we should relate to plants in different contexts. When it comes to applied plant ethics, the challenge is that of constructing a coherent set of analytical tools that might help us navigate the many different domains in which plant manipulation and cultivation are of relevance. These domains include forestry, agriculture, health, genetic research, biodiversity conservation, diet and consumption, climate adaptation, and the design of resilient cities – among others.
The research project “New Directions in Plant Ethics”, based at the Philosophy Department at the University of Vienna and led by Prof. Angela Kallhoff, has been engaged for the past three years in the exploration of the ethics of plants and their manipulation. The result has been the publication of the volume Plant Ethics: Concepts and Applications (Routledge 2018), edited by the Project team and showcasing a wide variety of approaches to the philosophy of plants from distinguished international scholars.
This EURSAFE workshop is meant to present this work and to explore in some detail issues relating to the production and consumption of plant foods. The book will be briefly presented as a way into the intricacies of plant ethics, while most of the workshop will be devoted to the search of a joint framework for plant and food ethics that may open to a new research agenda where these fields can be mutually informative. The workshop will therefore soon take the form of a dialogue whose main aim is to outline a shared platform for further debate on plants and food production and consumption within the EURSAFE community and society at large.
20 Wednesday, 13th June 2018
Key Questions
Particular themes and questions that may be addressed are the following:
Is plant ethics capable of shedding new lights on central themes in agriculture and food ethics, and of guiding responsible innovation in the food and agricultural sectors?
What are the most promising strategies for integrating plant and agriculture and food ethics?
What is the moral status of plants, and what are the implications of different views on this topic on the ethics of plant cultivation and consumption?
What makes for ecologically and socially sustainable, and for ethically virtuous plant cultivation?
How can a plant ethics framework be applied in the assessment of agricultural practices that involve deforestation or radical transformations of landscapes?
How can a plant ethics framework be applied in the assessment of agricultural practices that involve emerging food technologies, including genetic modification?
How can ethical reflection on plants be applied to improve animal welfare?
Considering the major impacts that animal farming and animal foods consumption has on local and global environments, the welfare of animals themselves, and the livelihoods of millions of humans, should we all be vegetarians? And is eating plants not morally problematic as well?
What are the moral and political peculiarities of emerging technologies devoted to edible plants production - including gene-editing, diffused computing and robotic farming?

ABSTRACTS
The following two abstracts of presentations were not published in the Proceedings. All other presentations are presented by a paper in the Proceedings book.
Alpine Purity Law (for milk) – New Concept or Utopia
E. Schmid Department Veterinary Public Health Federal Administration County Vorarlberg, Landhaus; 6901 Bregenz, Austria; [email protected]
Abstract
The Bavarian law of 1516 should ban producing impure beer: the only ingredients allowed for the brewing of beer were barley, hops and water. A story of success for over 500 years. Why not the same for milk produced in the alpine regions? Pure milk from the Alps comes from cows of local adapted dual-purpose breeds with horns, fed with grass and hey only (without concentrates), their calves raised mother bonded and fostered. Each of the three characteristics is correlated to traditional production and regional circular economy, easily recognisable even by lay persons. The key message of pure milk from the Alps reflects to environmental, ecological and ethical considerations. We produce milk using the ressources of the region and with sharing the milk fairly between calf and consumer. There is no simpler authentic position for an unique selling natural product: proud horns, meadow-grazing, succling calves, visible for everyone, checkable at an easy look. Which strategy of implementation could be successful? Another additional label would confuse consumers even more. Better using the strong market position of retailers whose food-policy and philosophy already is on the way “back to the roots” using pictures and selling the feeling of pure nature. Keeping in mind one additional decisive side effect of this system: an integrated limitation of production rate of milk. In comparison to the failure of all administrative or free market approaches for regulation of the milk market, the prevention of overproduction could be the main effect of this concept to the benefit of all.

Seafood Ethics and Value-based Approaches to Marine Resource Management
Mimi E. Lam1, Matthias Kaiser1, Thomas Potthast2, Sahir Advani3, Tony J. Pitcher3 and Lawrence Ward4 1University of Bergen, Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities 2University of Tübingen, International Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities 3University of British Columbia, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries 4University of British Columbia, Department of Psychology
Values are important in all human activities, but are missing in most approaches to sustainable resource management. The explication of diverse stakeholder values and ethics would aid decision-makers in resolving resource conflicts and policy trade-offs. Seafood ethics is the descriptive and normative study of values and pro-social attitudes, value- based trade-offs, and ethical dilemmas of stakeholders and citizens along seafood value chains. It embeds considerations of values and ethics as moral principles into robust ethical deliberation and decision-support tools to promote sustainable ocean governance. Foremost in advancing seafood ethics is the need to identify and analyze the plurality of values and how values interact, in conjunction with ethical principles, to influence decisions along diverse value chains. Going beyond descriptions of values to valuation approaches, i.e., the process of attributing importance to something, can provide context to value decisions and address the gap between values, decision-making, and behaviour. Our approach, explored interactively in a pre-congress workshop on seafood ethics, lays the conceptual and methodological foundation for a transdisciplinary study of values. Individuals rank a set of values, which they relate to scenarios of resource management. We analyze whether types of individuals can be empirically identified from their value rankings or profiles. Next, we examine whether these value profiles and aggregated value landscapes can help to predict individual and community scenario preferences and behaviour, respectively. Finally, we probe the utility of mapping value profiles and landscapes by exploring how values might relate to ethical principles and scenario preferences in marine resource management.
