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.
We invite researchers, both senior and early-careers, to submit abstracts for panels, presentations and posters. While the conference theme is polycrisis, we welcome submissions on any topic related to sustainable transformation(s). This is a great opportunity to share your research, work interdisciplinary, combine different fields and engage with research colleagues.
The deadline for submissions have now closed. UTRI will review all abstracts and organise them into cohesive sessions in dialogue with the applicants.
