    Parents Whose Children are Placed in Out of home-care Face Persistent Labour-market Exclusion

    Parents with children that are placed in out-of-home care are often already in a vulnerable position on the labour market. Many of them remain excluded from work and education for years. Parents who are not reunited with their children are particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged – and face persistent exclusion from the labour market. This is shown in a new study in Public Health Sciences from Stockholm University.

  • Meet Medeea, one of our digital ambassadors

    - I am Medeea, a 21-year-old student from Romania. I focused on mathematics and informatics in high school. Now I study Physics on a bachelor level and I'm in a traineeship with the ATLAS Group CERN in Romania. I live in Sweden as an exchange student at Stockholm University and I'm looking forward to making Physics and Fysikum more visible by using modern, dynamic digital tools.

  • The professor who digs deep into climate changes in the past

    Peatlands are key areas for the Earth's climate, storing enormous amounts of carbon. What controls productivity in these types of wetlands is an important question for future climate. Newly appointed professor Malin Kylander has spent two decades trying to understand these processes, digging deep into bogs.

    Expedition Arctic Ocean 2026, blog post 13: Blanket

    We just had an amazing blizzard, at least for Arctic standards. The snow was coming down, like one of those powder days back home in the Colorado mountains when you can’t wait to get up to the slopes to ski some light and fluffy turns.

  • More lenient sanction for young people did not lead to more reoffending

    As Sweden introduces tougher sanctions for young offenders, a new study from the Department of Criminology at Stockholm University shows that a less interventionist response to minor youth offending did not lead to higher rates of reoffending. Young people who were more often given a prosecution deferral instead of a fine were no more likely to reoffend.

    Despite Duty of Care, Gambling Operators Place Responsibility for Gambling-Related Harm on Individuals

    Gambling operators licensed to operate in the Swedish online gambling market largely place the responsibility for gambling-related harm on individual gamblers rather than on the gambling products themselves. A new study from the Department of Public Health Sciences at Stockholm University shows that gambling operators interpret their statutory duty of care in vastly different ways, and that measures to prevent harm are often introduced only after harm has been identified.
