Ruyi Ding got the opportunity to travel all the way from China to Sweden to undertake doctoral studies in law at Stockholm University. Her experience is that although being a PhD student can be a bit challenging, it is also very rewarding.
Before joining Stockholm University, Daniel Pinheiro Astone worked for the government for 10 years in total, both as a public servant and consultant. One of his best advice to someone who is interested in undertaking doctoral studies is to write about something that matters.
Six students from Stockholm University are going to Brussels on 2-3 February 2023 to representing Sweden at the European Council Simulation Exercise ConSIMium. "I'm looking forward to gaining a deeper understanding of the work of the EU Council", says SU Law student Hannah Bischoff, who is part of the Swedish team.

The Baltic Sea Fellows initiative, a network of young Baltic Sea researchers from several disciplines, was launched to strengthen the environmental Baltic Sea research at Stockholm University. The results of this year's awarded research grants from the Swedish Research Council and Formas show that it is going well. The group of researchers has raised over 25 million Swedish crowns this year.
In a new dissertation from the Departement of Law, Stockholm University, Dr Monica Seifert investigates and compares how the legal systems of three distinguished international arbitration jurisdictions have addressed the problem of arbitral jurisdiction in multi-contract relations.
The Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework needs to consider additional groups of chemicals, according to a large international group of researchers. For the UN Biodiversity Conference, COP15, they have developed a perspective article and a policy brief with concrete proposals for better inclusion of hazardous chemicals in the forthcoming targets.

In a new dissertation, titled "Early Determination of Arbitral Jurisdiction: Balancing efficacy, efficiency, and legitimacy of arbitration", Dr Fabricio Fortese examines the timing of judicial determination of jurisdictional disputes in the presence of an arbitration agreement.
The newly built drifter balances at the end of the four-metre-long boat hook. In a few seconds it will be launched and tested for the first time. At best, it will provide measurement data and can soon be picked up again. At worst, it disappears, forever. It's November when Master students from the course in Physical Oceanography set sail on the research vessel Electra, together with researchers and PhD students from the Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University (MISU). Oceanographer and course leader Inga Koszalka and technician Joachim Dillner at MISU have designed and built drifters that, if they work, will give researchers a better idea of how ocean currents move in the Baltic Sea. That knowledge is needed, among other things, to see how ocean currents affect the oxygen content of the water and to be able to make forecasts for algal blooms during the summer. The drifters are one of several instruments that the Master students will learn to use during the sea excursion. They will also collect data from an instrument on the hull of Electra, called an ADCP (Accoustic Doppler Current Profiler), which measures ocean currents by bouncing sound waves off plankton and other suspended particles in the water.
The European Commission recently approved publication of the 2022 report on Sweden and non-discrimination. It's written by Paul Lappalainen, PhD candidate in Labour Law and member of European Equality Law Network.
