During the Berlin Science Week 2025, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Michelle Chevelev-Bonatti from the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) took part as a speaker in two international events.
On 4 November, she participated in the Mexican Science Day “Science Connects: Mexico & Germany – Beyond Now”, organized by the Embassy of Mexico in Germany and the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). Together with researchers and policymakers from both countries, she discussed technology, the role of artificial intelligence (AI), innovation, and international cooperation in science and research.
On 6 November, Chevelev-Bonatti spoke at the conference “Food Systems: Innovation and Resilience in a Changing World” held at the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin. She contributed to the debate on the role of science, the prevention of climate change and biodiversity loss and international collaboration in building sustainable and resilient food systems.
Both events demonstrated how research across countries and disciplines – through science diplomacy and interdisciplinary collaboration, can help address global challenges together.
Michelle Chevelev-Bonatti is an agronomic engineer and Deputy Head of the Sustainable Land Use Systems (SusLand) group at ZALF. Her research focuses on co-creation of innovations and social learning for sustainable development and land use. She also teaches Environmental Sociology at the Humboldt University of Berlin and is an Associate Professor at the Universidade Vila Velha (Brazil).
