Collaboration

External collaboration specialists

In a unique initiative, SLU has appointed external collaboration specialists with a special focus on developing the extension processes at the university.

These specialists all combine proficiency in research with extension activities in their subject areas. On this page you can find out more about collaboration at SLU.
