The SSHL ‘Think Tank’ team was recently nominated for the ‘Future Thinking’ category in the International School Awards 2020 in London.

And this week, our Think Tank team of students visited SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) to present their research report for the SLU Department of Ecology.

At the beginning of the term, SLU gave the Think Tank team the mission to investigate how they as Sweden ́s only university of agricultural sciences can grow their student population in the future.

After two and a half months of diligently working on this project, the students have now delivered their report and presented the result to SLU by the required deadline.

And, it was a massive success. The 13 students spent the morning presenting their research report to the heads of SLU Department of Ecology, several senior professors, as well as the head of SLU communications.

Clara Hawkins, teacher at SSHL and mentor for the project:

⎯ SLU is wildly impressed with the market analysis report, which they said was comparable to reports that they order from professional market research centers. They were particularly impressed with the quality of the research because it was evidence driven and well-sourced and cited.
