XXIX Crue-Sustainability Conference

The Crue-Sustainability Conference reaches its 29th edition in Almeria. In these conferences we emphasize that the University is an active agent that promotes the knowledge society, establishing the main objectives and actions to be carried out for the conservation of our environment. In this new meeting in Almeria, we will focus on the role of universities in agri-food, in a sustainable way and always taking into account the horizon of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will also analyze the impact of the health crisis on universities.

The Conference will be held in the Auditorium of the Campus of the University of Almeria, together with the Aulario IV for the meetings of the Working Groups.
