The Department for Urban and Rural Development (SOL) has initiated a cross cutting network for teachers, researchers and practitioners who work with internationalisation and development issues. The core aim of the Platform is to:

• Strengthen the input to the SLU internationalisation and development work
• Strengthen the relevance and quality of our research and education
• Strengthen the exchange between research and cooperation/outreach 

At SOL, social and natural scientists work together, and through this platform, we would like to put emphasis on the co-dependency between people and environment, which is especially important in developing countries since poor people are directly dependent on natural resources for their survival. The Platform will continue to strengthen the perspectives from our partners in "the South" as well as increase the integration of gender issues in the international work of SLU.

Our own seminar series "Issues in Development" was initiated in the autumn of 2011. More information is available under Activities.
