Hubs

SLU Urban Futures has three regional hubs based in Ultuna, Alnarp and Umeå. These hubs physically anchor the platform at each of SLU’s main campuses, creating opportunities for collaboration across faculties and with societal actors in each of the regions.

Regional collaboration

The three regional hubs serve as access points for both internal and external collaboration in each location, aiming to strengthen SLU’s role as a relevant partner within the field of sustainable urban development and transformation. Through their outreach activities, the regional hubs work with establishing and facilitating cross-faculty linkages; and processes for collaborating with the surrounding society.
