Our research has an interdisciplinary approach and will be carried out by Swedish and international scientists in close collaboration between six universities, international and inter-governmental organisations, rural communities, local authorities and other stakeholders at local and regional level. PhD and post-doctoral fellows will have major roles in data collection and analyses.
