Relevance for my discipline or department?
SuHRFs ambition is to bring together disciplines and researchers, at Campus Gotland, which traditionally neither work together nor include questions related to cultural heritage and sustainability in their research. Below we present some examples on how cultural heritage and sustainability can relate to your discipline as well as some areas that would be interesting for further research.
Obviously, there are several other examples.
