Webinar series on SDG 8 targets – the role of research in reaching sustainable economic growth, full employment and decent work conditions

Sustainability and environment
Society and economy

Earlier this year, the SDG 8 Initiative introduced thematic reviews and discussion papers on the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8). In a series of three workshops in June, the thematic groups will present drafts of their SDG 8 discussion papers, and suggest areas that are relevant for the implementation of each target. There will be time for discussion and questions, involving all interested researchers at University of Gothenburg, Chalmers and the associated "satellite" universities in Chile, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Vietnam.
