Good intentions & innovative solutions to pressing challenges: how to safeguard the right objective? From discussing with the audience and expert speakers, the session organizers aim to critically reflect on the mission-driven nature of coping with the need to address urgent challenges of the food system and the bioeconomy as well as of a research infrastructure (Leibniz Innovation Farm for Sustainable Bioeconomy, under implementation). The session brings together researchers from natural and engineering sciences who work towards solutions to address the challenges with social scientists and ethicists who address issues such as why good intentions may fail due to means-end confusions in societal discourses or due to naturalistic and moralistic fallacies.

Missions in the marine realm are likely as old humanity’s seafaring expeditions. These required visions of purpose and planning, but also an impressive understanding of the ocean and technological innovations. Humanity’s improvements in knowledge and technology have meant that resources could be mobilized not only to explore, but also to exploit and conquer discovered spaces; a process that has defined the Anthropocene in the ocean. Now, the concept of an “ocean mission” is being re-appropriated again, but now to mobilize resources for the complex mission to save the ocean from human exploitation and conquest. Are missions working for a sustainable ocean or is this wishful thinking and we are still mainly aiming to conquer “a good deal” in the seas?

Societal transformations require suitable knowledge based on research that is increasingly expected to consider societal responsibility and solution-oriented impact. It is currently debated how this responsibility can be implemented and how research quality and excellence, particularly in funding and evaluation processes, should be modified. Debates also circle around possible conflicts emerging with existing models, above all freedom of research. The session deals with approaches to enhance research excellence criteria, the relevance, definition and measurement of impact as quality criterion, with ethical foundations discussing the relation between responsibility and freedom, and discusses if the German FONA programme can serve as a role model for a reviewed concept of excellence.

Understanding the foundations of sustainability is a prerequisite for conscious sustainable action and participation. The session reflects on aspects of learningand education in the context of sustainability (potential approaches to transfer). It focuses on larger concepts as well as on concrete formats and target groups for sustainability-related lifelong learning.To this end, it draws on exemplary practice and research from educational and research institutions as well as from cultural institutions with associated educational mandates (here: museums) within the Leibniz association and its networks. Three inputs plusreflection on lifelong learning processes from the angle of educational science lead to a broad discussion with all session participants. Here, further references to the "missions for sustainability" may be established.

With the terrible war in Ukraine, energy dependence of parts of Europe has become abundantly clear. On the path to technological sovereignty, sustainable economic activity according to the European Green Deal and climate neutrality, hydrogen technology is of great importance. To achieve the ambitious goals, however, major and coordinated efforts are required from politics, science, industry and society. To this end, the Leibniz Association, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Beller, Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, has pooled its expertise in the Hydrogen Economy Cluster. In the Hydrogen Economy session, you can expect exciting impulse contributions from Airbus on the Zero Emission Aircraft as well as from renowned Economists, among others, under the moderation of Dr Christoph Wulf, Head of the Leibniz Zero Carbon Technical Centre.

Achieving climate neutrality rapidly is one of the key missions of the 21st century to ensure a liveable planet. It requires fundamental changes within and across multiple action domains (energy, transport, food, etc.) and sectors (public, private, civil society). Cities play a key role in achieving climate neutrality due to both the accumulation and combination of mitigation challenges and the innovative potential and transformative power attributed to cities. In this session we will focus on the transformative capacities that cities need to transform multiple urban systems toward climate neutrality and will identify pathways to increase this capacities in different local, regional and national contexts.

Scientists contribute to a sustainable future through their scientific work, but they are also part of the transformation: our research buildings consume heat and electricity, in our labs we consume scarce materials and produce problematic waste, and we fly to remote conferences emitting tons of greenhouse gases. Therefore, scientists team up in order to make research itself more ecologically sustainable. In this session we will present employee-based sustainability initiatives in the four major non-university research organizations in Germany - Leibniz Association, Helmholtz Association, Fraunhofer Society and Max Planck Society - and discuss potential and challenges of sustainable research practice.

The session focuses on the question, how criteria for socially responsible research can contribute to mission research. The organizers introduce a respective framework for reflection with eight criteria that has been developed in a joint research project called LeNa. Two of the five EU-missions for 2030 – ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ and ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’ – will we be presented by experts of these fields to lead over to a joint discussion.

Mission-orientation as driver for participative Governance – towards sustainable local economic structures
Governance of missions at a local level, particularly in the economic development framework, calls upon local economic development agencies to re-think their work in terms of content and organization through new thematic and structural formats. Several concepts (e.g. the 2030 Agenda, the common good economy, the doughnut economics or the circular economy) aim at supporting municipalities in implementing sustainability missions but need to be adapted locally, sometimes with a significant investment of resources. The session will discuss the role of local economic development and the potential of participative governance approaches in implementing political missions based on local challenges.

Reaching the SDGs without actively involving citizens and the community in the process is an impossible task. Citizen science therefore creates an opportunity to bridge the gap between the theory and the reality of sustainable change by directly engaging and empowering citizens. Short presentations will address the questions of what citizen science is and how it can contribute to the SDGS will be discussed, followed by practical examples of how scientists and communities are already using citizen science in their work towards the SDGs. The session will have plenty of opportunities for discussion and reflection, to enable participants to explore the potential for citizen science in their own work.
