During the culture weeks of the jubilee, the focus will be on the University’s artistic disciplines as well as its cultural and museum activities. During this first culture week, there will be opportunities to let yourself be seduced by pleasant music, listen to the tunes of brass band or rock, visit the Malmö Art Academy, go to a cabaret, or to meet the initiator of Lund University. Or why not bring the children to an exciting exploration day in Lundagård!

Bioeconomy Stakeholder Conference - Challenges and Opportunities in the Transition to Bioeconomy

A sustainable circular bioeconomy can contribute to economic growth and social prosperity, while addressing the key global environmental challenges. Growing demand on biomass, however, may challenge the very basis of bioeconomy by the inherent risks of, for example, soil deterioration, loss of biodiversty and food security. At this conference, industry, academia and public organisations will discuss challenges and opportunities across whole biomass value chains.

The event is free but registration is required.

When: May 15, 2017, 09:00-16:00
