Future Week on HKR

For many years, "Framtidsveckan" (Future Week) has been organized in Kristianstad Municipality. The platform revolves around Agenda 2030, the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The university is a part of the program, and each year we select one of the UN goals to place special emphasis on for a day.
