Programme Meeting October 2022

Programme Meeting.

This edition of the Mistra Environmental Communication Programme Meeting is over. Thank you for your participation!

We had two days of inspiring collaborations on new ways of communicating sustainability and environmental questions.

This time we also reflected upon what we have learned together up until now, resulting in very valuable impressions for going forward with our application for a second programme term.

You will find the schedule for the meeting below. Are you interested in some of the themes? Do not hesitate to contact erik.hallstensson@slu.se!
