ACCESS organises yearly research forums and the primary activity is the seminars where academic discussions on mutual challenges are held between researchers from Chile and Sweden. The forums have proven successful as drivers for new and innovative research projects between Chile and Sweden.
This year Stockholm University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Uppsala University will jointly organize the third research forum. The forum will take place in Uppsala and Stockholm 2-5 December 2019 and is held in conjunction with the 200 year celebration of bilateral relations between Sweden & Chile.
