Networks of Researchers and Societal ActorsLU Land – unique networking opportunity for researchers and stakeholdersStarting off as a thematic collaboration initiative initiated by Professor Henrik Smith at CEC and the Department of Biology, financed by LU to contribute to land-use for a sustainable future, LU Land has grown to become a well-known platform connecting academia and stakeholders mainl
A major mission of BECC, has been to, together with MERGE, initiate and being deeply involved in operating and financing the interdisciplinary research school ClimBEco. For BECC, ClimBEco ensures that new generations of BECC-associated PhD students acquire both general skills and the specific skills needed to, in interdisciplinary settings, tackle our identified challenges.ClimBEco is a two-year g
BECC Grand Seminars constitute a place where different perspectives of a topic, often related to current policy development or of other societal relevance, are brought up and discussed. That is, the seminars link either research and policy development or different research fields. In 2022-2023 the seminars focused on the IPCC AR6 new reports, the CBD COP15 and on environmental policy development a
As an effort to connect researchers at Swedish universities and authorities, MERGE and BECC proposed a national conference on climate research to be conducted in collaboration with the Bolin Centre for Environmental Research of Stockholm University and the Swedish Meteorological Institute (SMHI).
