Welcome to join us for the second edition of Umeå Transformation Research Initiative's annual conference. Dealing with the polycrisis is this year's theme where we highlight the importance of transformative research.
When several crises happen at the same time, they can make each other worse, creating a bigger problem. This phenomenon is called a polycrisis.
Image Alexandra HaglundOur world is characterised by global challenges of increasing complexity. The combination of crises such as pandemics, climate change, and wars reinforce each other and together form a polycrisis. To address these challenges, interdisciplinary research is required at multiple levels. At this conference, experts from various disciplines will gather to discuss and shed light on the phenomenon of polycrisis from different perspectives.
Take the opportunity to meet researchers and colleagues from across the university, and develop new collaborations that can help address major societal challenges of our time.
Time and place: 27 November, full day conference at Vardagsrummet, Humanity Building, Umeå university.
To ensure a broad and diverse range of contributions also including posters, we are extending the opportunity to submit poster presentations for the upcoming UTRI-conference. If you missed the Spring deadline, this is your chance to share your work with colleagues in a visual format. Posters will be presented during two coffee breaks.
Please note that all other session types (panels and papers) are now fully booked. This extended call applies exclusively to poster presentations.
We look forward to showcasing a wide variety of projects in relation to sustainable transformations. Welcome with your contribution.
Submit your abstract no later than 28 September, using this form.
