SLU’s history will be written
The Vice Chancellor and the Faculties have awarded funding for the project “SLU – in the Service of the Sector and of the Science,” starting in July 2012 and running for four years, until June 2016. The project consists of one half-time research position and one full-time PhD position and it is led by Per Lundin at the Division for Agrarian History. The result will be presented in a book and a dissertation.
The project aims to describe and analyze the Agricultural College, the College of Forestry and the Veterinary College, which merged in 1977 into the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and their development from the middle of the twentieth century until today. The two central research problems in the project are firstly the mutual interdependence between SLU and the agricultural sector, and secondly the relation between SLU and the international scientific community.
