NEWS SEE Sustainability Week is an annual event week held in the counties of Västerbotten and Norrbotten, that wants to let you feel, talk, taste, challenge, develop and network sustainably for a whole week or just a short while. This year Arcum is participating with a seminar on Environmental Psychological Perspectives on Sustainability in the Arctic, to together with other participants, highlight creative, vibrant and good examples of social, economic, ecologically sustainable development.
On Monday, September 20, 2021, SEE Sustainability Week starts with a total of 74 activities on 179 occasions. During Friday's lunch, Arcum associated Louise Eriksson, an associate professor in psychology and a researcher in environmental psychology at the Department of Geography at Umeå University, will talk about her research that focuses on the individual level in Arctic research, more specifically environmental psychological perspectives on sustainability in an Arctic context.
