CUSP

Critically Urgent Societal Problems

CUSP logotype

CUSP is an arena for addressing big societal challenges of our time: social, political, cultural, economic, environmental, and/or medical. In an effort to give voice to urgent societal problems, Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) invites academics, policy-makers, artists, and other actors to publicly address such global concerns.
