Welcome to Stockholm University of the Arts: Meeting the International Sustainable Development Research Society on Courage, Culture and Art

Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) invites you to a seminar titled ”Meeting the International Sustainable Development Research Society on Courage, Culture and Art”.

What is artistic research and how is it linked to sustainability research? As part of the run-up to ISDRS 2022, SKH invites you to a seminar that explores this question.  

The ISDRS international sustainability conference will be held for the 28th time in the summer of 2022. Six higher education institutions in the Stockholm region are hosting the event, including Södertörn University and Stockholm University of the Arts.  

Each year has a specific theme. This year it is courage, culture, art and human rights. As part of encouraging new, cross-boundary cooperation between research disciplines, a seminar series is being organised. On each occasion, researchers from the higher education institutions will present their research. The first to do so are from Stockholm University of the Arts. The seminar will be held online on 9 December and is in English.  

See the programme for more information and links.

Date and time: Wednesday, 9 December 2020, at 13.00-16.00
