Funding attributed for 10 projects in SLU Urban Futures’ Open Call and Pedagogical Call

Published: 05 July 2019

From building capacity for youth to become urban climate citizens to a field study in Addis Abbeba about food waste and loss to a course on visual storytelling in Rosendal’s urban development – SLU Urban Futures has been thrilled by the submissions to this summer’s Open Call, including a Call for pedagogical development targeted at teachers. The platform received great proposals from different faculties – and all included a multi-, inter- or transdisciplinary perspective enhancing urban sustainability – shows the growing urban inclination of SLU.
