Course Programme 2023
The course is held online and the lectures are open to the public. For a Zoom link to the lectures please contact any of the course leaders: Lars Rydén, Björn Frostell, Bo Libert or Rustam Eshniyazov.
The course lectures and discussions have been divided into three main themes:
- Basics of Sustainability Science
- Water and Sustainability
- Society and Sustainability
Each lecture is divided into three main parts, where
(i) the first general part is presented mainly by Swedish teachers, followed by
(ii) a question formulation and discussion part and
(iii) a second lecture part – mainly by Uzbek teachers and with the aim to give an Uzbek perspective of the lecture theme. Here, an aim is to have a high Uzbek participation.
