Join us on 26 October for an event focused on the importance of multi-disciplinary work for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
As part of the event we will showcase the multidisciplinary work conducted by researchers who have been awarded PhD scholarships funded by the Global Challenges initiative in 2018 and 2019.
We will also hear from leaders of the projects awarded funding for 2020 under the strategic area of Global Challenges at UiB. They will have an opportunity to discuss their projects, and how they contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals challenges.
The event will be livestreamed on this page.
