DevRes 2022: Swedish Development Research Conference

Transforming Development Research for Sustainability

The theme for the upcoming conference is ‘Transforming development research for sustainability’, as It is becoming increasingly clear that sustainability is the key to our planet and the future of humanity. We must make haste at achieving this before 2030, estimated as the climate’s ‘tipping point’, which could lead to unpredictable consequences.

A major part of the conference will focus on how we can achieve sustainability in health for both humans and our planet. This requires that we look at transforming large parts of our society and restructuring systems within our society such as food and energy production, urban planning, digitization, education, preventive health work as well as health and social care.

In order to achieve this globally for all people and not just individual countries, we need to explore both new forms of cooperation and the generation of new knowledge. Here, research is absolutely essential if we are to discover novel systems that will ensure the longevity of our society.

The conference will offer both onsite participation as well as digital live-streaming and chat functions. The 1st day of the conference will be at Uppsala University, the 2nd day fully online and the 3rd day at Karolinska Institutet.

The conference aims to promote networking and collaboration between researchers, public agencies, policy makers, organisations and practitioners, in order to find solutions for poverty and develop strategies for the future of sustainable development.

The conference will be hosted by GlobeLife – a joint initiative between Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet. Currently the call for abstracts system is open and we are accepting applications from students (graduate and PhD), researchers and practitioners that correspond to the main theme of the conference ‘Transforming Development Research for Sustainability’.

Swedish Development Research Conference, which will take place August 22-24th, 2022.
