Research project
The network is a new initiative to establish an open national cooperation platform with the aim of strengthening and utilizing R&D of green transformation and sustainable working life.
The ambition is to build and establish an innovative network for knowledge creation about various processes and research projects that are ongoing in Sweden, and how these can work together for an efficient, healthy and safe green transformation. Furthermore, the network will take into account conditions for green transformation and working methods that are based on the Swedish model in working life.
