New course and programme initiatives

Two "education-motivated" senior lectureships at the NJ Faculty with strong connections to the SLU strategy will be co-funded by the UN for two years:

• Senior lecturer in business administration specialising in entrepreneurship, innovation and bio-based economy at the Department of Economics.
• Senior lecturer in food systems specialising in systems studies of the food chain at the Department of Energy and Technology.

Four grants for educational development:

• Developing the agricultural science programmes.
• Revising courses, focusing on new educational tools for the Master's programme Environmental Communication and Management.
• New educational forms of teaching with limited resources on the Master's programme Rural Development and Natural Resource Management as well as the Agriculture Programme – Rural Development.
• Developing courses within Cemus – a collaboration between SLU and Uppsala University regarding courses and programmes relating to sustainable development.
