Tips and support
Here, we have gathered tips for organisers and outlined what we at the Sustainability Forum can assist with.
As an organiser, you are primarily responsible for the content and structure of your event. However, our planning team is happy to act as a sounding board for developing ideas and event formats.
Tip: Use the Checklist for organising an event on this page to help you plan your event.
If you need help finding participants for a panel, a moderator, or are interested in collaborations beyond your own networks, we can assist with contacts.
When inviting external guests, we encourage you to choose individuals who can travel to Lund using a sustainable mode of transportation.
Each organiser is responsible for reaching their desired target audience and promoting their own event.
Suggestions for promoting your event:
- Posters in Lund University’s facilities where your intended target audience will be
- Social media
- Targeted email invitations within your own networks
In all promotion of your event, please state that the event is part of Sustainability Week and refer to the overall program.

Use the hashtag #hållbaralund in your social media posts.
Feel free to create a Facebook event for your arrangement. Add Lund University Sustainability Forum (Lunds universitet) as a co-host to make it visible in our event list. Contact us if you need assistance with this.
