About SUGI-FWE Nexus

The Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative – Food-Water-Energy Nexus, SUGI-FWE Nexus for short, was established by the Belmont Forum and the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe in order to bring together the fragmented research and innovation expertise across the globe to find innovative new solutions to the Food-Water-Energy (FWE) Nexus challenge.

On the 19 Dec 2016, Formas will together with the Swedish Energy Agency and IQ Samhällsbyggnad hold an information seminar about the call. The seminar is held in Swedish and will afterwards be made available online.
