RECAST Seminars
October 26: Interdisciplinary Researchers’ Networks Grant
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend a seminar on “Interdisciplinary Researchers’ Networks”, during which we will share our experiences of the interdisciplinary researchers’ networks and inspire new research collaboration locally within Dalarna University (DU) and also internationally.
In this seminar, ten presenters will share their experiences about the projects that were awarded a grant for interdisciplinary researchers’ networks at DU in 2020. For further information about the seminar, please see the attached program (pdf).
The seminar has been organised by the Research Collegium for the Advancement of Sustainability (RECAST) with support from Dalarna University’s Council for Sustainability. This seminar is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals in Agenda 2030, which emphasise the involvement of universities in promoting interdisciplinary scholarly networks to address major global challenges concerning environmental, social, and economic issues.
Date and Time: Thursday, 26 October, 08:30-12:30
Venue: E151, Campus Falun
Registration: Please note that the seminar is followed by lunch at Scandic. If you would like to attend the lunch, you need to register in advance. A registration link will be published at the beginning of October.
