Funding

SLU Urban Futures offers seed funding to stimulate new collaborations and transdisciplinary research projects. It supports multi-/ inter- and transdisciplinary research activities aiming at enhancing urban sustainability.

Seed funding from Food & Cities

Researchers at SLU can apply for seed funding from Food & Cities to develop cross-disciplinary research that examines the systemic relationships between food systems and urban development and how these relationships affect the transformation to sustainable communities.
