Workshops/Seminars/Conferences

LUCSUS presents on a regular basis seminars on sustainable development, LUCSUS Seminars. This successful series of seminars started in September 2005. The idea is to facilitate discussion on environment and development, including issues of global equity and justice. Presenters are from a variety of sustainability related backgrounds,  e.g. scholars from Lund University and other universities, civil servants, politicians and representatives from NGOs. LUCSUS Seminars are open to the public and for all scholars and students at Lund University and the Seminars are well attended by an interested and very competent audience. Students from the International Master programmes LUMES and LUMID are special invited to join the seminars.

Please sign up for LUCSUS Mailing list, if you want to keep posted about coming activities e.g. seminars, workshops, lectures. »
