One SLU – We at SLU
Last changed: 27 January 2026
By facilitating and strengthening collaboration across geographical and organisational boundaries and between research, education and environmental monitoring and assessment, SLU develops the potential of its organisation. This strengthens our collective capacity to be the driving force needed to achieve our vision.
One SLU – We at SLU is about harnessing the strength of our different
environments and faculties while developing the university as a whole. We have
unique expertise and considerable resources, but we can become even better at
using them effectively together to build strong profiles and make the most of new opportunities.
Our next step is to strengthen internal and external communication so that
knowledge, experiences and ideas can be showcased and shared more easily across geographical and organisational boundaries. In this way, we can become an even more attractive workplace and meeting place, where employees can develop and see how their efforts contribute to the success of the university as a whole.
By further developing a culture characterised by openness, internal learning,
dialogue and respect, we create the conditions for commitment, participation and long-term development – for both employees and students. An inclusive SLU is also a stronger SLU.
Strategic objectives:
- SLU will offer an inclusive work and study environment that fosters a
sense of pride, commitment and participation throughout the
university. By providing more equal opportunities for professional
development for staff and students, and through clear leadership and
employeeship, we promote cohesion and long-term skills provision and
strengthen the university's attractiveness. - SLU will create conditions for shared responsibility and understanding
of our common mission – from the local to the strategic level. SLU
will also raise awareness and increase knowledge of our national
mission in society. Strengthened, cohesive strategic communication
increases the opportunities for everyone at SLU to make a
contribution. - As a place of study and work, SLU will be a pioneer socially,
financially and ecologically to ensure that sustainability work is better
integrated into its activities. Through a balanced focus on the three
pillars of sustainability in campus development, resource use, support
processes and infrastructure utilisation, we create the conditions for
high quality and long-term development.
