How do we work with interdisciplinarity within sustainability studies across universities?

On 14 May, we are happy to welcome Lund University and Agenda 2030 Graduate School in a shared seminar dedicated to the discussions and sharing of ideas and experiences from working with interdisciplinarity within sustainability studies. 

To gain the most of the seminar, we invite UCPH students and early-career researchers to join us in the conversation and the great opportunity to meet our colleagues from Lund University.

A limited number of spots are available for UCPH students and employees. Read more about sign-up below. Lunch and beverages are included in the seminar.
