KU-brainstorm – Transformative governance for food systems and biodiversity

You are invited to join us in a research brainstorm workshop on Transformative governance for food systems and biodiversity - ideal and reality. Contribute with knowledge from your research and get inspired by your colleagues from other disciplines.

The purpose of the KU brainstorm is to create a space for academic dialogue across disciplines, where all inputs count, and new ideas and questions can arise. There should be room to think and talk about the academic ideal in relation to Transformative governance for food systems and biodiversity from the perspective of different disciplines, and the outputs can become new research themes.

We are in the start of a huge green transition and this calls for new perspectives of governance, a transformative governance including knowledge from disciplines across KU. Therefore, we invite you to this KU Brainstorm.
