A full day on environment and public health!

Time: July 5 8:30-18:00
Location: Donners Plats 3, Visby

After two summers without any Almedalen Week in place, it feels great to come to Visby and showcase ourselves. Ephi has been around for just over a year but now it's starting to take off. 

On Tuesday, we have a packed program starting with a breakfast discussion with Lena Andersson about what to eat really? Further during the day, we do deep dives into everything from how we get sufficient electricity grids for Sweden's electrification transition to China's role in climate change. Of course, we end the day with a real Almedal mingle where we get the chance to meet new contacts in a lighter form and as best we can solve the world's challenges in the meantime. If you want to participate in the mingle, we would like to receive your registration.

We are in the middle of the action at Donners Plats 3, which could be called the EPHI center of Almedalen Week, right?

The full program can be found below but changes may be made so please check ephi.se for updated program.

A warm welcome to you!
