Making agriculture sustainable is a global challenge. In the European Union (EU), the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is failing with respect to biodiversity, climate, soil, land degradation as well as socio‐economic challenges.
The European Commission's proposal for a CAP post‐2020 provides a scope for enhanced sustainability. However, it also allows Member States to choose low‐ambition implementation pathways. It therefore remains essential to address citizens' demands for sustainable agriculture and rectify systemic weaknesses in the CAP, using the full breadth of available scientific evidence and knowledge.
Concerned about current attempts to dilute the environmental ambition of the future CAP, and the lack of concrete proposals for improving the CAP in the draft of the European Green Deal, we call on the European Parliament, Council and Commission to adopt 10 urgent action points for delivering sustainable food production, biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation.
Knowledge is available to help moving towards evidence‐based, sustainable European agriculture that can benefit people, nature and their joint futures.

NeuLAND (New Large-Area Neutron Detector) is the next-generation neutron detector for the R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) experiment at FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research). NeuLAND detects neutrons with energies from 100 to 1000 MeV, featuring a high detection efficiency, a high spatial and time resolution, and a large multi-neutron reconstruction efficiency. This is achieved by a highly granular design of organic scintillators: 3000 individual submodules with a size of 5 × 5 × 250 cm3 are arranged in 30 double planes with 100 submodules each, providing an active area of 250 × 250 cm2 and a total depth of 3 m. The spatial resolution due to the granularity together with a time resolution of 150 ps ensures high-resolution capabilities. In conjunction with calorimetric properties, a multi-neutron reconstruction efficiency of 50% to 70% for four-neutron events will be achieved, depending on both the emission scenario and the boundary conditions allowed for the reconstruction method. We present in this paper the final design of the detector as well as results from test measurements and simulations on which this design is based.
Ausgangsfragen: Bologna: Segen und/oder Fluch? Bedeuten Modularisierung und Ausrichtung auf Kompetenzen das Ende der Humboldt'schen Bildungsidee? Und wenn: Ist das ein Verlust oder ein Gewinn? Wie ist die Modularisierung der Studienordnung mit Blick auf praktische Erfahrungen zu bewerten? Hat sie zu einer Verbesserung des Studienverlaufs geführt? Welches Curriculum müsste die Germanistik der Zukunft haben? Welche 'Schlüsselqualifikationen' sollte sie vermitteln? Sollte das Studium (noch) stärker berufsorientiert strukturiert sein? Sind auch hier Anpassungen an das medientechnische Umfeld erforderlich? Wie steht es generell um die Berufsaussichten von Germanisten? Kommt den Fächern bzw. den Universitäten selbst eine höhere Verantwortung für die Vermittlung in Berufe zu ('employability')?
