This web page has been machine translated. If there are any uncertainties, please refer to the Swedish text.

Industrial investments in the North create jobs and are needed for the green transition. But they can also conflict with cultural values and other societal interests. Is it possible to turn conflicting goals into windows of opportunity?

Who is the seminar aimed at?

The seminar is aimed at everyone involved in the green transition and who needs to create better conditions for inclusion, dialogue and collaboration in the planning process. The report is a guide and method toolbox and can be used by, for example, municipalities, regions, county administrative boards, industry players, property owners, museums, antiquarians, archivists and consultants.
