Events

After four productive and rewarding years, the University of Oslo Nordic initiative, the thematic research group Futuring Sustainable Nordic Business Models (Futuring Nordics), is coming to an end, and it is time to reflect and celebrate.

Sustainability Transitions - exploring the role of Nordic business through radical interdisciplinarity.

Organised by Futuring Nordics, Sustainability Lab and Sustainability Law as part of UiO:Norden- ReNEW's 6th annual Nordic Challenges conference, Oslo 24–26 May 2023.

Futuring Nordics is organising this seminar in which we seek to combine the two parallel debates: how to achieve a circular economy and how to achieve business that contributes to sustainability (corporate sustainability).

Please note: We will now have to make this a fully digital event due to the latest Covid-19 restrictions. Please see updated programme below.

Welcome to this Futuring Nordics Team meeting.
