About Interdisciplinary Academy (IDA)
The core of IDA is interdisciplinary research groups that for eight months get the opportunity to develop their ability to work interdisciplinary together and in an inspiring environment.
Food & Cities
Food & Cities is a collaboration between SLU Future Food and SLU Urban Futures. The project seeks to identify knowledge gaps and cross-disciplinary research questions and investigates how a long-term thematic focus on food and cities could be established at SLU.
