Förlagets beskrivning
2017 marks the 40th anniversary of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU. During these years SLU has developed into an internationally prominent university that challenges, raises issues on sustainability and seeks solutions for global problems. This chronicle gives an overview of how SLU has changed over the years. Plans and decisions that have influenced the development of the university are described. Personal experiences from students and staff are mixed with easily accessible information on the development of research, education, collaboration, organisation, and environmental surveillance, a specific task for SLU. A multi-facetted and vivid picture is outlined of this, as some regard it, unusual university.
