Global Sustainable Futures for collaboration

Global Sustainable Futures (GSF) constitutes a joint platform between Chalmers and University of Gothenburg that facilitates the advancement of science-based knowledge towards achieving Agenda 2030 through collaboration with partners in low- and middle-income countries. GFS promotes research, training and utilization aimed at sustainable development through support, coordination and events for networking and sharing of knowledge and experiences.

At present, Global Sustainable Futures is carrying out an extensive mapping and networking exercise, with the aim to present an up-to-date picture of partnerships between Chalmers and University of Gothenburg and partners in low- and middle-income countries. GSF will continue to welcome interests in new partnerships.

On 25 November, GSF held the online-conference “Research collaboration in low- and middle- income countries - findings, lessons and ways forward for implementing Agenda 2030”. The event featured keynote talks by professor Ernest Aryeetey, Secretary General African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), and Madelene Ostwald, affiliated researcher at GMV/GSF as well as presentations by researchers at University of Gothenburg and Chalmers who are engaged in global collaboration.
