Organisers

The Interdisciplinary Academy (IDA) at SLU was established 2022 by the NJ Faculty and SLU Future Food with the aim of building a long-term organisation for the development of interdisciplinary research at SLU. During 2025, IDA is run jointly by SLU Future Food and SLU Urban Futures. The objective is that the programme will lead to an increased knowledge of, and interest in, interdisciplinary research work, strengthen the ability to process research questions from an interdisciplinary perspective, and facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations between different departments at SLU.

SLU Future Food is a platform that stimulates and develops cross-disciplinary research and collaboration for economically, ecologically and socially sustainable food systems.

SLU Urban Futures is a strategic platform that develops and strengthens transdisciplinary research, education and collaboration in sustainable urban development.
