To find solutions to complex challenges, multiple disciplines are needed.

Inspirational speakers are Carl Dalhammar (associate professor at International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics), Ellen Hillbom (professor at the department of Economic History), Max Koch (professor at the department of Sociology) and Kerstin Nilsson (professor at the division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine).
