<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Hello...<br>
my throat feels a little rusty, as I haven’t been talking here for a
while.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">I work a
lot as a consultant at one of our <st1:City w:st="on">Uppsala</st1:City>
universities, the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Swedish</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> of
Agricultural Sciences, mostly at the Department for Urban and Rural
development, primarily at the Unit for Environmental Communication and
the Unit
for Rural Development. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">. . I am
not (yet?) a researcher, but I really like (most of) the academic
environment –
the effort to think and talk clear and lucid, the (often) open
atmosphere. I
have now for the second year had responsibility for some twenty
students and
their five points (that is equivalent to five weeks fulltime) course in
“process- and project management”. Most of the students are
natural-science
oriented, so I have the great pleasure to introduce them in
group-process
thinking... Many of them will hopefully (if they get a job) work with
planning
processes, natural resource management, rural development and similar.
Of
course I told them about Open Space, and of course we did one too – a
mini
three hour one, this year with the theme “How do we get a job?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">I have also
some years ago facilitated four (if I remember it right) OS for
researchers
seeking cross-relations and common grounds – it was all about rural
development
in a global context, with a mostly social science but also natural
science
agenda. Earlier this year I co-facilitated a similar OS about finding
the “right”
agendas for future rural development research programs. Participants
were
researchers from different backgrounds, persons from local and
governmental
authorities and persons with the task to write the researchprogram.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">And, this
autumn I will facilitate two different two day long OS at the same
department,
both of them with a networking aim. One is the first national
conference about
environmental communication, and it is also open for English speaking
not-national persons – so I will do it in English. It is open for
researchers
and practitioners. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">The other
is a cross-scientific networking scientific one about water, and also
in English:
“Integrated & Transboundary Water Resource Research - A network
creating
conference”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Some info
can be found at <a href="http://www.sol.slu.se/">www.sol.slu.se</a>,
in English
– and Swedish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Hugs!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

shared
two stories of University-based Open Spaces, specifically with business

constituency. I also welcome everyone else’s stories of other kinds
