Karen Siegel participated in the Science Slam Talk series on bioeconomy organised by Haus der Wissenschaft Braunschweig (in German). Using the example of the paper industry and the pulp mill conflict between Argentina and Uruguay during the 2000s, she discussed in which ways bioeconomy development may support sustainable, inclusive and peaceful development and what some of the challenges are. The other panellists included Ulrike Neumann with a presentation on microalgae and Sebastian Kistler with a discussion of ethical principles in bioeconomy. The discussion was hosted by Julia Offe and Holger Kühnhold.
