SRA workshop series: How can we develop research ideas and influence research policy related to the SDGs?

This is the first workshop in a serie arranged by the Strategic Research Areas and Sustainability Forum within Lund University. The workshop will give an overview over developments as well channels for influencing research related to SDGs.
The workshop will be an opportunity for both junior researcher who want to take the next step in their academic career as well as the senior researchers who want to develop the research politics within Lund University to discuss possible pathways for development.
The subject will be presented through two shorter presentations and two workshops focusing on external as well as internal factors influencing research related to SDGs in relation to where we are now and how the processes are structured for influencing (important for junior researchers). Insights in where we are heading (important for senior researchers) will be dealt with and give you tools and networks for influencing research policy related to the SDGs.
