Three universities are co-hosting the Sustainability Forum in southern Sweden
To showcase a variety of environments and competences, the second part of the SASUF Research & Innovation Week 2024 will be hosted by three Swedish SASUF Partner Universities, namely: Malmö University, Lund University, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences at the Alnarp Campus.
Lund University showcases and symbolizes the more traditional environment located in the old city of Lund. In contrast to this, Malmö University symbolizes the modern and urban environment in the city of Malmö. Last but not least we have the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), which takes us to the town of Alnarp, where one of SLU’s campuses are located. This campus will show us a piece of the green countryside of Sweden.
