The Interdisciplinary Academy (IDA) at SLU was established 2022 by the NJ Faculty and SLU Future Food with the aim of building a long-term organisation for the development of interdisciplinary research at SLU. During 2025 and 2026, IDA will be run jointly by SLU Future Food and SLU Urban Futures. Inspiration has been drawn from the Pufendorf Institute at Lund University and experience has also been drawn from the Futures Lab at SLU. The objective is that the programme will lead to an increased knowledge of, and interest in, interdisciplinary research work, strengthen the ability to process research questions from an interdisciplinary perspective, and facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations between different departments at SLU. The development of IDA is managed in dialogue with SLU's other future platforms and SLU Global. To date, five IDA groups have been granted.
SLU Future Food is a platform that stimulates and develops cross-disciplinary research and collaborations for economically, ecologically and socially sustainable food systems.
SLU Urban Futures is a strategic platform that develops and strengthens transdisciplinary research, education and collaboration in sustainable urban development.
