The aim of the workshop is to promote a Swedish-Chinese exchange of knowledge about the role of people’s commitment in the long-term transformation of the city environment. It also intends to create a forum for a vibrant discussion on how to turn social capital and cultural heritage into generators for a sustainable urban development.
The workshop is carried out as a part of a government assignment on sustainable urban development jointly commissioned to the Swedish Museum of Architecture, the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, the Swedish Research Council Formas and the Swedish National Heritage Board.
The workshop forms an integral part of the EXPO 2010 SymbioCity Forum hosted by the Government Offices of Sweden and the Swedish Trade Council in the Swedish pavilion 1-2 of July.

Research at SEI, the Stockholm Environment Institute, is of consistently high scientific quality, but SEI must get better at marketing its research and itself. The Institute also needs to develop its co-operation with the private sector. These are the findings of the international panel of experts which Formas has engaged for the governmental remit of evaluating SEI’s research.

According to the UN Climate Panel the earth is getting warmer, very probably because of human emissions of greenhouse gases, and this warming is related to rising sea levels, shrinking ice masses, and the risk of rapid and unpredictable changes. But when does man´s impact on the climate become dangerous, and what is at stake? Are EU policies for energy and the climate toothless? Is carbon capture and storage a solution or just a smokescreen? Formas’ new book Climate challenge – the safety´s off takes a broad look at the climate issue in a global perspective.

As the six months of Swedish Presidency of the EU gets underway, the Swedish Research Council Formas is publishing an English edition of a book about the European cultural landscape, titled The Rural Landscapes of Europe – How Man has Shaped European Nature. The cultural landscapes and nature in Europe are the result of thousands of years of human impact and constitute our common heritage. Wars, revolutions, and diseases have affected nature. The landscape has been cultivated and become overgrown, back and forth. Forestry, agriculture, and animal husbandry have altered the flora and fauna. The book offers a holistic view of the cultural landscape from both a biological and a historical perspective.
