Over two days in June, the Center for Monetary Policy and Financial Stability (CeMoF) at Stockholm University and the Swedish National Debt Office jointly hosted an international conference focusing on financial crises and bank crisis management.
The delegation presented the core objectives and ongoing developments of the initiative.
The rate at which species recover after clear-cutting varies considerably. Some groups, such as lichens and mosses, are unable to re-establish before the next harvesting cycle, according to a major international study involving researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP) at Stockholm Unviersity.
Stockholm University's Master's Programme in AI and Language combines language studies and artificial intelligence in a way few other degree programmes do. The results from the first cohort suggest the initiative is already proving successful - every student graduated on time, and several have already moved into qualified roles in AI.
Professor Nicole Pamme at the Department of Chemistry, Stockholm University, has been awarded the 2025 Chemical Engineering Prize by the Swedish National Association of Chemical Engineers (SKR). She receives the award in recognition of her outstanding research in microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip technology and point-of-care diagnostics, as well as her efforts to highlight the potential of chemistry and inspire the next generation of researchers and engineers.
The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Tom van der Valk, researcher at the Centre for Palaeogenetics (a collaboration between Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History), a grant of €150,000 to develop his research findings into commercial applications.
Experiencing a solar eclipse 2006 in Thessaloniki sparked Aliki Litsa’s interest in astrophysics. She earned her bachelor’s degree there and went on to complete her master’s degree at the University of Amsterdam. “I began my PhD at Fysikum in 2019, and after attending Career Fair I got in touch with Savantic. I have now worked there for two years with meaningful AI—developing solutions that drive sustainable growth, measurable impact, and long-term value.”
In the coming days, doctoral students Julie Bommerlund and Chris Cockerill will head into the Swedish mountain region to spend just over a month surveying Arctic foxes, an endangered species.
An editorial piece in Nature highlights the work of Professor Sabina Čehajić-Clancy, emphasizing the growing role of researchers in developing evidence-based approaches to reduce polarization, strengthen social cohesion, and help societies address deepening divisions.
Ludvig Doeser, who is completing his PhD at Stockholm University and the Oskar Klein Centre later this year, has been awarded a Wallenberg–Bienenstock fellowship at Stanford University. The goal is to take on one of cosmology's central tasks: reconstructing how our Universe evolved into the cosmic web of galaxies we see today by developing an AI-driven digital twin of the local Universe.
Dr Frank Wilczek initiated Quantum Connections, which has now been held 16 times. The event takes place in Stockholm each June and brings together graduate students and postdocs from both theoretical and experimental backgrounds, spanning the broad landscape of quantum frontiers. Since 2025, it has expanded to include both a Summer School in Sweden in June and a Winter School in China in January.
Long-term conditions, national coordination and a more strategic approach in the EU and globally. These were the main themes when the University Alliance Stockholm Trio brought together university presidents, research funders and politicians for the seminar World-class research – what investments and reforms are needed in Sweden and the EU? during Almedalen Week.
