Read the full report from the ACCESS forum 2017!

The ACCESS platform was initiated by Lund University, Pontificia Universidad

Católica de Chile, Universidad de Chile and Uppsala University. The framework

of the platform was collectively agreed upon in November 2016 when the four

parties signed a Letter of Intent.

The ACCESS platform aims to facilitate and deepen the academic relations

between Chile and Sweden as well as to enable researchers, staff and students

to become more connected to each other. For this purpose, the four universities

have decided to create research seminars in Chile and Sweden, the first one took place at Lund

University 17-18 August 2017.

In order to contribute to research excellence, long-term collaborations and

increased academic mobility between the two countries, five research areas were

identified for the first seminar as common challenges for both countries. These

challenges were the starting point of the discussions in separate workshops,

followed by a general interdisciplinary discussion. Summaries from every

workshop can be found in this folder.

The five research areas from the 1st ACCESS seminar at Lund University 17-18

August 2017 were:

• Contemporary Migrations: New social challenges and experiences of

mobility in the Chilean and Swedish contexts

• Exploring the Water-Land-Energy Nexus: Towards Sustainable Agriculture,

Forestry and Mining in Chile and Sweden

• Health challenges of the modern society

- Cancer

- Ageing

- Antibiotic resistance
