| Content | The lecture series promotes scientifically relevant work in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The lecture series aims to be of relevance to local, national, and international sustainability agendas, and it presents mono-, multi-, and transdisciplinary research on sustainability. Each week, an expert will present current work in a sustainability-relevant area. The main characteristic of and challenge for each lecture will be to present sophisticated academic work to an interested but non-specialist audience. The presenters will come from the natural sciences, engineering sciences, social sciences, and humanities. |
