HSS2023 - UNIVERSITIES AND SOCIETY IN COLLABORATION
Between the 10th and 12th of May 2023, University West will be hosting the national conference HSS. We look forward to welcoming you to an event filled with new ideas, insights and inspiration.
What is HSS?
HSS stands for Högskola och Samhälle i Samverkan, which roughly translates to Universities and Society in Collaboration. It is organized every other year by Swedish universities.
The conference focuses on societal challenges and how institutions of higher learning and research can collaborate/co-create with industry, the public sector and civil society to tackle these challenges and work toward a sustainable future.
The conference is funded by the Knowledge Foundation (KK-stiftelsen), the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket), and Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova.
About HSS2023
The theme for HSS2023 is “Working together, learning together, living together”. The conference will feature many prominent speakers and touch on topics such as inclusion, green and digital transition, challenges to democracy, and life-long learning.
The conference will start with a meet and greet on May 10. The main programme starts on May 11 and will wrap up around noon on May 12. A conference dinner will be held on the evening of May 11.
The conference will be held on site at University West. The campus is located centrally in Trollhättan, only a short walk from the train station.
