Topical
Platforms
Four
day-long platforms discuss the different aspects of limits. Each
platform focuses on one particular field of research.
|
| |
Dialogue
between research and reality: how to overcome limits |
| |
Besides
the three actual topics of environmental protection “Protection
of marshland”, “Wolf”, “Elimination of
protected areas” SWIFCOB 4 discusses in detail questions,
which emerge in between research and reality: Which recommendations
can research offer? Can they be put into reality or not? The
presentations given by experts of practice and research are directed
to researchers and environmental experts from administration,
engineering and environmental agencies as well as organisations
of the protection of nature. |

Three
main presentation, “Smaller and smaller – limits
of the nanotechnology today”, “Pushing limits: Nano
and Bio: Learning from the nature” and “Nanotechnology
= progress without limits?” introduce the topic, followed
by a discussion panel. Demonstration at the CSEM Alpnach.

Limits
in regard with natural dangers |
| |
Natural dangers often limit the human use of space.
Five presentations “Limits
of feasability”, “Limits of judgement”, “Social
limits”, “Comparison with other cultures” and “Swiss
strategies in dealing with natural dangers” introduce the
topic in the morning. In the afternoon these topics are being discussed
in detail in workshops with the use of case studies (mudflow and
landslides Sörenberg, earthquake Nidwalden). |

What
can integrative computer models offer for the development of
settlements? |
| |
Models, which can help to make decisions with regard to the
development of agglomerations, must fulfil different needs. Besides
offering an integrative consideration of a problem the responsible
protagonists (administration, engineering agencies, ...) must
be able to use them and the models have to answer the needs of
science and research in giving relevant answers to questions.
The workshop offers a dialogue between science and research in
regard to the different needs and tries to solve the tensions
between the two fields.
