About SLU Fältforsk

Page reviewed:  22/04/2025

SLU Fältforsk is a contact and collaboration body between the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and external stakeholders concerning field trial activities in the agricultural sector.

Our main task is to coordinate, develop, and ensure the quality of field trial operations at the national level, including planning, data analysis, trial methodology, and data storage.

SLU Fältforsk consists of a central office, theme groups, a steering committee (the SLU Fältforsk Committee), and a reference group.

SLU Fältforsk has a reference group that provides input and feedback on the activities. The reference group serves as an important point of contact between government agencies, organizations, and other key audiences that SLU Fältforsk aims to engage with.

The reference group meets once a year, in the autumn. These meetings are announced in SLU’s online calendar and are open to anyone interested in field research.

Previously, we published meeting notes from the reference group on our website. These are no longer posted online, but you are welcome to contact SLU Fältforsk if you would like access to them.
