The SASUF (South Africa Sweden University Forum) Research and Innovation Week brings together researchers, teachers, students, university management representatives, and many more from all the 40 SASUF partner universities. Join a diversity of unique events on May 13-17!
The Research and Innovation (R&I) Week consists of two days, 13-14 May, filled with Satellite Events across the country, followed by a three-day Sustainability Forum where everyone gathers for joint workshops in Southern Sweden and Copenhagen.
The Satellite Events are organised across Sweden in a present, hybrid and online form, and all the events are free and open to everyone! Many of the workshops are also in hybrid form. Find out more
