Start date: 19 November 2025 12:00

Venue: Scandic Norrköping Nord, Järngatan 17, 602 23 Norrköping

Last day of registration: 21 October 2025
At this year’s workshop we will explore the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how our projects within SLU Grogrund relate to them. With help of the SDG impact assessment tool, we can find ways to translate the theoretical SDGs into hands-on examples within SLU Grogrund’s collaboration between academia, industry, and society.
On day two, the workshop continues and there will be a poster session, feel free to bring a maximum of one poster per project.
SLU Grogrund pays for conference fees, hotel rooms and meals, but as a general rule not for travel to and from the workshop. There is a guaranteed place for at least three people from each SLU Grogrund project and we would like to see all projects represented.
We strive for a mix of participants between academia, industry and society.
The workshop will be held in English.
