Market

SLU:s största campusområde Ultuna ligger strax söder om studentstaden Uppsala. Här finns universitetsledningen, två av fakulteterna och en stor del av universitetsadministrationen.

There will be a lot of activities for everyone on our open campus like horseback riding, experiments with fluid nitrogen, the possibility to dissect dinosaurs and plant onions.

Exhibition: Water is coming!

The exhibition Water is coming! raises the issue of the sea rising and how it affects our coasts. The exhibition also deals with the question how we handle these expected changes. What strategies are there and how do we communicate about the issue?

Exhibitions

Why not take a moment to visit one of our amazing exhibitions. Water is coming! about rising sea levels, the exhibition about SLU's history or maybe about SLU's new Baltic Sea cooperation project; Baltic Sea Science Center.

Workshops and seminars

During the open campus at Ultuna, you will be able to listen to lectures and participate in workshops that deal with some of the current social issues that SLU works with. How can we support the world's population? How can the forest help us to switch from fossil to renewable fleet?
